Should I care to tell them that Windows likes to create NFD at certain times?

We tried to do #1, but it doesn't work.

And you have to be very careful what you do so that you don't spend all your
time renormalizing everything.

If we want to support it well, the best I can come up with is to track 2 forms
for every file in the dirstate. An "on-disk" form, and a "in-memory" form. So
that you can do the normalization at appropriate times, and just remember it
from then on.
