Ok, sounds reasonable.

With respect to the storage inside the tree, using a duplicate name with
mode 0 or a name with some kind of rare extension...
It should probably be investigated how much of the existing core needs
to be touched/changed to support the duplicate name.
I agree that using a custom rare extension would allow for almost no
change to git-core.
