Please read to the bottom of this email. As near as I can figure out,  
you haven't done that on any of my previous emails.

When I say "treat filenames as unicode" I'm implying the equivalence  
comparisons and everything else that we've been talking about.


If that's what "as unicode" meant, then the phrase "as unicode" has  
zero meaning.


No, you've argued against unicode equivalency in filenames. Can't you  
figure out, when the entire time I've been talking about equivalency,  
that I'm *still* talking about equivalency?


Yes, I understand quite well that you are against munging strings.


You're not using raw UTF-8, you're just using raw bytes. Calling it  
UTF-8 doesn't mean anything, since you don't actually know that's what  
it is. But this is fairly irrelevant.


How many times must I say the same thing over and over? I'm not  
arguing that forced normalization is a good thing. I'm arguing that,  
in a system which is unicode-aware top to bottom, forced normalization  
is irrelevant to the user, since they don't care about the exact byte  
sequence. And I'm also arguing that git should have some solution to  
this problem. I find it interesting that you're perfectly happy to  
rant and rail against your misperception of my argument, and yet you  
consistently and repeatedly ignore my offers to stop this argument and  
work towards a solution, as well as my comments on existing proposed  
solutions.

Are you even reading to the end of my emails?
