Hello. git-annex has been a wonderful program but I still find the occasional annoyances now and then. These tend to be small issues such as this one that I'm having with only one repository (other clones seem fine):

I use latin-1 directory names, such as "animação". This particular repository insists that all files under that particular directory are untracked. E.g. "anima\303\247\303\243o/Anita/banner.jpg" If I ask git-annex git-annex whereis animação/Anita/banner.jpg, it will promptly show it knows where it is. Thus, the data seems to be safe, it appears to be just an issue of git reading the filesystem.

It is quite annoying to see all those hundreds of file names scrolling by every time I sync. Can someone suggest something to help me solve this issue? Here is some more information.
