Description

When subversion creates a file in the HFS+ filesystem of the OSX, the operating
system normalizes the filenames to decomposed form of UTF-8. If the subversion
repository contains filenames which are not in this form (for example if the
repository is created in windows/linux and contains an "á" character).

To reproduce the steps:
- Create a file in a repository with "á" character in it in Windows or Linux
- Commit it
- Check out/update the repository on OSX on HFS+
- Get a status of the repository
