We know what the solution is:

 - The OS X filesystem _is_ crap (and you seem to have almost admitted as 
   much by your comment that the HFS+ designers did it back in the dark 
   ages and didn't mean for it to ever be a server filesystem anyway)

 - But we can at least make a wrapper around readdir() return the NFC form 
   on OS X, and effectively hide much of the fallout from the crap.

There is no way around it. Your "solutions" all seem to boil down to 
asking git to do the same idiotic crap that OS X does, taking all the 
same performance hits, and just generally doing crap just to work around 
crap in your favourite OS.

And no, making git be stupid just to suit a stupid filesystem simply isn't 
going to happen.

So how about you see _my_ point instead: OS X may have an inferior 
filesystem, but we don't have to make git inferior just for that. The fact 
that OS X does case independence is *its* problem, not git's.
