I am not. I am saying that, if git only had to deal with HFS+, then it could treat all filenames as strings, etc. However, since git does not only have to deal with HFS+, this will not work. What I am describing is an ideal, not a practicality. In other words, what I'm saying is that treating filenames as strings works perfectly fine, *provided you can do that 100% of the time*. git cannot do that 100% of the time, therefore it's not appropriate here. The purpose of this argument is to illustrate that treating filenames as strings isn't wrong, it's simply incompatible with treating filenames as byte sequences. -Kevin Ballard -- Kevin Ballard http://kevin.sb.org kevin@sb.org http://www.tildesoft.com
