I'm not sure what is going on here but on my Mac OS X system the file `gitweb/test/Marchen` is always untracked:

  [spearce@spearce-pb15 git]$ git status
  # On branch refs/heads/sp/work
  #
  # Untracked files:
  #   (use "git add" to add to commit)
  #
  #       gitweb/test/Märchen
  nothing to commit
  
  [spearce@spearce-pb15 git]$ git-ls-files | grep chen
  "gitweb/test/M\303\244rchen"
  
  [spearce@spearce-pb15 git]$ ls -l gitweb/test/Ma\314\210rchen 
  -rw-r--r--   1 spearce  spearce  17 Jul  8 14:38 gitweb/test/Ma??rchen

At first glance it would appear as though the file is encoded into the tree (and thus the index) one way and the OS is reporting it another way during a readdir. Which is leaving me scratching my head...
