Comment (by dawuud):

 currently on the darwin platform fails at least this test:
 ``allmydata.test.test_magic_folder.RealTest.test_delete``

 I don't understand why this fails. I added a print statement to display
 the platform filesystem encoding which is UTF-8

 ```
 test_delete ... set pending delay

 init INotifyEventHandler

 START READING BEGIN

 START READING END
