Bazaar does not support umlauts in file names on Mac OS X

[Nicholas Allen]

It is not possible to add files or directories that have umlauts (German characters) in their names. This does not seem to be a problem on Linux however. Bazaar add commands work but then doing a status shows the file as still unversioned. Executing add again causes the error message "bzr: ERROR: An inconsistent delta was supplied involving u'\xe4/\xe4.txt', 'a.txt-20091127132213-dn6zivjxgbj33odd-1'
reason: Path already versioned". This error message only happens for files with umlauts in their name. Executing add for any other file does not give this error.

Simple steps to reproduce it (on OS X 10.6.2) :

bzr init test
cd test
mkdir å
touch å/∫ß
bzr add å
bzr ci -m “simple”

bzr returns with

Committing to: /Users/xfer/test/
missing å
missing å/∫eeß
aborting commit write group: PointlessCommit(No changes to commit)
bzr: ERROR: No changes to commit. Use --unchanged to commit anyhow.

This is probably a dup of lp:172383.
