PS.: i think i have to try Git next.
As of git 1.7.2 you won't get lucky. From a software point of view MacOS
behaves seriously annoying here. (For git it even has consequences for
the way the checksums are computed.) A stat on the composed file name
still works (arguably correctly) even though the decomposed name shows
up in directory listings and thus in 'git status' as untracked file.
It's been almost a year, and interestingly, git is now starting to tackle
this problem:
http://repo.or.cz/w/git.git/commit/76759c7dff53e8c84e975b88cb8245587c14c7ba
The commit message makes no mention of potential compatibility issues
with existing repositories.
I can only answer for git, and I found the following in the commit message:
============
When creating a new git repository with "git init" or "git clone",
"core.precomposedunicode" will be set "false".
The user needs to activate this feature manually.
==========
So git is backwards compatible with older version of git, as log as
core.precomposeunicode is false (or not set at all)
