I can't extract non-ascii filenames by giving them on the commandline on OS X!?
This is due to different ways to represent some characters in unicode.
HFS+ likes the decomposed form while the commandline seems to be the composed

- try to enter the composed form on the commandline
- mount the repo using FUSE and use some file manager
