Subject: Re: git on MacOSX and files with decomposed utf-8 file names

Linus Torvalds:


This is the same issue as the CRLF issue I posted on earlier, and it
all stems from that git also sees file names as a stream of bytes, not
a string of characters, just as it does text.


A program that silently ignores the conventions of the platform it runs
on is *crap*, no matter if the conventions are not the same as for
other platforms.


A program that silently ignores the conventions of the file system it
tries to store its files on is *crap* :-)


In my perfect world, file names would be stored as a string of characters,
so if I save a file with an å in it, that å would be preserved no
matter if I run Linux on ext2 with my locale is set to latin-1 (which
stores it as byte 0xE5), on Windows with NTFS (which stores it as the
UTF-16 code 0x00E5), on Windows/DOS with FAT (which stores it as the
byte 0x86) or on Mac OS X which stores it as decomposed UTF-8 (whose
byte sequence I don't know at the top of my head). If that was just
stored as U+00E5 in whatever encoding in the filename index, the local
implementation of git can just check it out in the form needed.
