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

[Anders Kaseorg]

You need to run git add on the filename that’s actually present.

git add HA_Aufgabenstellung_Parteipräf_Postmaterialismus_SS15.pdf

Your shell’s tab completion can help you with this. You can also use
shell wildcards. Or, if you really want to copy and paste the output
from ‘git status’, you can use this trick if your shell is bash:

git add
$'HA_Aufgabenstellung_Parteipr\303\244f_Postmaterialismus_SS15.pdf'


** Changed in: git (Ubuntu)
       Status: New => Invalid

Title:
  Path with invalid character can't be added

Status in git package in Ubuntu:
  Invalid

Bug description:
  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.
