Subject: OSX, ZFS, UTF8, git - somebody hates me in this list

repeat by:
    0) download the OSX ZFS drivers
    1) Make a ZFS partition on OSX.
    2) Clone git.git to the ZFS partition
    3) immediately type git-status:

    # On branch master
    # Untracked files:
    #   (use "git add <file>..." to include in what will be committed)
    #
    #       "gitweb/test/Ma\314\210rchen"
    nothing added to commit but untracked files present (use "git add" to track)

    4) try "git-clean -f"
    Removing "gitweb/test/Ma\314\210rchen"

    5) try git-status now:
    # On branch master
    # Changed but not updated:
    #   (use "git add/rm <file>..." to update what will be committed)
    #
    #       deleted:    "gitweb/test/M\303\244rchen"
    #
    no changes added to commit (use "git add" and/or "git commit -a")

    6) still broken.  try git-reset --hard HEAD
    HEAD is now at c697ad1 Cleanup xread() loops to use read_in_full()
    7) and now git-status again:

    # On branch master
    # Untracked files:
    #   (use "git add <file>..." to include in what will be committed)
    #
    #       "gitweb/test/Ma\314\210rchen"
    nothing added to commit but untracked files present (use "git add" to track)

That's broke, and a show-stopper for me to use ZFS on OSX.  Ugh.

Can someone with ZFS on solaris try this, to try to figure out if this
is a problem with git, ZFS, OSX, or some combination?

Thanks.
