The content of the file is sacred, we both agree on that. We  
disagree on
the filename, because for me it's more important that equal strings,
even if encoded to different byte sequences, should be treated as the
same file.

Why should the filename be _stored_ normalised?  I agree on the  
lookup,
yes, but not the storage.

Personally I don't care how you store it. It's an implementation  
detail, and you should choose the best one for your use cases. If  
that means that you store the original version and a normalized  
version just for lookups, fine.

What I think its important is that if two users use different  
encodings for the same string in a filename, git should treat that as  
the same file.
