Git and the Umlaut problem on Mac OS X

Enable core.precomposeunicode on the mac

git config --global core.precomposeunicode true

For this to work, you need to have at least Git 1.8.2.

Mountain Lion ships with 1.7.5. To get a newer git either use git-osx-installer or homebrew (requires Xcode).

That’s it.
