Bug in git-status with non-ascii characters:

`git status` always reports the following:

----- 8< ----- # On branch refs/heads/master # Untracked files: # (use "git add <file>..." to incrementally add content to commit) # # gitweb/test/Märchen no changes added to commit (use "git add" and/or "git commit [-a|-i|- o]") ----- 8< -----

When I do `rm gitweb/test/M<tab>` to remove this apparently unneeded file, `git status` reports:

----- 8< ----- # On branch refs/heads/master # Changed but not added: # (use "git add <file>..." to incrementally add content to commit) # # deleted: gitweb/test/Märchen # no changes added to commit (use "git add" and/or "git commit [-a|-i|- o]") ----- 8< -----

This is on Mac OS X, file system is HFS+ (Journaled). Is this expected? I can't figure out why it's happening.
