+There are problems with displaying filenames in UTF8 encoding, as shown here:
+
+ $ echo $LANG
+ en_GB.UTF-8
+ $ git init
+ $ git annex init test
+ [...]
+ $ touch "Umlaut Ü.txt"
+ $ git annex add Uml*
+ add Umlaut Ã.txt ok
+ (Recording state in git...)
+ $ find -name U\* | hexdump -C
+ 00000000 2e 2f 55 6d 6c 61 75 74 20 c3 9c 2e 74 78 74 0a |./Umlaut ...txt.|
+ 00000010
+ $ git annex find | hexdump -C
+ 00000000 55 6d 6c 61 75 74 20 c3 83 c2 9c 2e 74 78 74 0a |Umlaut .....txt.|
+ 00000010
+ $
