When I add the folder "Der-Bäcker" with a file 'test' to my git repo, the file 'test' is listed under the <untracked> section. When I rename the folder to "Der-Baecker" it works fine. "Der-Böcker" also does not work. In this case even Ctrl+Alt+O does not find the file or folder.
Which encoding are you using in your system (LANG). Does it work, when you start kate with: LC_ALL=de_DE kate (or was it LANG=de_DE kate ?)
$ echo $LANG de_DE.UTF-8 # LC_ALL does not exist. $ export LC_ALL=de_DE $ kate Now the file in the "Der-Bäcker" folder is not even opened but "New file" is shown; even if I drag&drop the file from dolphin. # Reset LC_ALL $ export LANG=de_DE $ kate Same effect as above: "New file" instead of opening the file. $ export LANG=de_DE.UTF-8 $ kate At least the file is loaded to the editor.
The problem is that `git ls-files` outputs: $ git ls-files | grep Der "Der B\303\244cker/L\303\266ffler.txt" DerBaecker/Loeffler.txt So this is wrapped in quotes, which is probably a parsing issue in Kate.

Git commit a59237913165c12cdeea53d2839618d780561464 by Dominik Haumann. Committed on 25/02/2018 at 11:38. Pushed by dhaumann into branch 'master'. Projects plugin: fix git file listing for umlauts such as äöü Summary: git ls-files avoids umlauts or unicode surrogate characters. The problem is that `git ls-files` outputs: $ git ls-files | grep Der "Der B\303\244cker/L\303\266ffler.txt" DerBaecker/Loeffler.txt instead of "Der Bäcker\Löffler.txt". It uses quotes and unicode escape sequences to avoid the ä and ö. This patch uses `git ls-files -z` for listing the contents. Instead of \r\n, the file listing the dumps a bytearray that is \0 separated for each entry. In the -z mode, no unicode escaping is done, and the umlauts such as äöü or any other unicode characters are displayed correctly. There is still room for improvement, since readAllStandardOutput() might return a very large listing, which allocates a lot of memory. Therefore, a buffered solution (using a lambda or so) would probably be better. This, however, can be done in a separate patch.
