NFD and NFC both come from the unicode standard, and are just taken
"as is" into the Git world:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Unicode_equivalence

If you are otherwise happy with the patch, would it be possible

The other comments may be addressed later, may be.
In any case, they should go into a different commit.
