Sure., I agree that in _practice_ this isn't actually a problem, because people have long since learnt to avoid strange filenames in SCM's, simply because you can't get it right with insane filesystems. That said, it might be a good idea to abstract out the create/read phase for filenames in the working tree regardless, since that also tends to be an area where other issues can come up (whoops - '/' vs '\' as the directory separator etc).
