Ran into a weird error with unicode filenames, and got this suggestion from @peff to deal with encodings on HFS+ vs. other platforms. Don't think there's a downside, but someone please correct me if I'm wrong.

You shouldn't need to do this. The config option is a workaround for git clones on particular filesystems. So it depends on where you create the repo, not just the system you're on (you would want it on if you have create the repo on an HFS+ partition, but not if you are creating it on a network share, or a USB key, etc). Git tests the filesystem and sets this automatically when it creates the clone.

Cool, thanks for the feedback. Curious to hear if you have any other recommendations for what should go in the script to make things n00b-friendly (short of those things being added in Git core :wink:).
