That's what I said - perhaps we should have had more discussion.

As you have probably gathered, the problem is that people could  
possible produce the ids "A" and "a" and commit them both, and that  
could cause havoc on non-case-sensitive filesystems.  The current  
format is just url-escaping, which is what was previously agreed,  
though the idea of doing it on uppercase characters was not discussed.

I'm open to changing it, though perhaps that can wait for a future  
format rev?
