This has been discussed on the list in the past. Mac OS X does a bad
thing here; it is normalizating the UTF-8 encoding in a different
way than Git supplied the encoding. This is apparently done to
support its other bad feature, case insensitive filesystems. ;-)
Basically what Git gave Mac OS X during an open() syscall is not
what it gets back during a readdir() because the filesystem changed
the byte sequence on us. Yea, not cute.
I think I stuck the byte sequence Mac OS X is supplying into my
.git/info/exclude and the problem went away...
