I understand how hard it is to lift this. It would be extremely nice if
it could accept high characters. I mean \(U+0100) and higher, since
I have ISO-8859-2 encoding here. It, of course requires two things:
1) Proper charset conversion to/from charset detected from locale.
2) Some sane fallback what to do when a character can't be converted.
The second thing it the hardest part of it. I can imagine:
a) It won't work with such filenames, that is you won't be able to
checkout weird things if your locale does not support it
(workaround -- LC_CTYPE=<something>.UTF-8 tla ...)
b) It will not convert escapes that can't be converted. This would
be very nice, but it disallows valid unicode escape sequences in
filenames -- file '\(U+E1)' would be the same as file 'รก'.
Perhaps someone will get a better idea.
