Special characters in folder names aren't properly treated

[pdobrescu]

When a folder (and maybe a file too) contains special characters, its parent folder cannot be listed.

E.g. the folder abc contains the sub-folder called ghí. Because of the í, running ls on abc returns:

ls: reading directory .: Bad address

Can't reproduce. Can you give another example?

[pdobrescu]

Nope, this was the only case. Just to make it clear: one of the folders in the themes sub-folder was named ghí. And because of that I couldn't list or browse the themes folder.

Try to monkey test gitfs with different sftp clients
