I'm on an English OS X 10.6.2 and I created a sample file with umlauts in its name (Überlänge.txt). When I try to stage the file in the terminal, I can't complete the file name by typing the Ü and hitting the tab key, but I can complete it by typing an U and hitting the tab key. Unfortunately, after executing

 git stage Überlänge.txt
I invoked
 git status

and it still shows the file as new file. Should I set some environment variable to be able to work with files containing umlauts in the name?

Thanks in advance, Tom
