I agree.  It seems far more likely that people will want to have
filenames that are meaingful in some language than filenames that
cannot be printed in any language at all.  If they just have filenames
that are inconsistent with the standard encoding on their system then
that is a different and potentially soluble problem.

We should add some tests for versioning files with non-ascii names.

Joel's page points out sys.getfilesystemencoding().
