Sure., I agree that in _practice_ this isn't actually a problem, because 
people have long since learnt to avoid strange filenames in SCM's, simply 
because you can't get it right with insane filesystems.

That said, it might be a good idea to abstract out the create/read phase 
for filenames in the working tree regardless, since that also tends to be 
an area where other issues can come up (whoops - '/' vs '\' as the 
directory separator etc).
