-// #### this test uses filenames that cannot be represented on all filesystems we test, in

-// is why the test is marked as 'skip' for the mac. When checking out the files with git on the mac
-// the error of not being able to represent the files stored in the repository is not silently
-// ignored but git reports an error. The test only tried to prevent QDir from _hanging_ when listing
