I think we need to insist that any versioned files have unicode
filenames.  Considering that a bytestring filename for one user may be a
unicode filename for another, I think we could have really ugly
corner-case behaviour if we tried to support bytestring filenames.

It may be that we can tolerate non-unicode unversioned files, since by
definition, these are not shared.
