[Bug 1500052] [NEW] Path with invalid character can't be added

[Karl-Philipp Richter]

Public bug reported:

The file with name
`"HA_Aufgabenstellung_Parteipra\314\210f_Postmaterialismus_SS15.pdf"`
(according to `git status`) can't be passed as argument to `git add`
(fails with `fatal: pathspec
'"HA_Aufgabenstellung_Parteipra\314\210f_Postmaterialismus_SS15.pdf"'
did not match any files`). It should be possible to add with the path
displayed in `git status` because it is whit `git add .`.

The file was originally named
`HA_Aufgabenstellung_Parteipräf_Postmaterialismus_SS15.pdf` and has been
added to `git` on Mac OS X 10.10.
