This seems reasonable.

It will mean we can't represent a directory of for example test data
containing filenames with different representations of the same
characters. You could have such a directory on Linux (and Windows?)
but you could not check it out on Mac OS. You can see this as
inconsistent with how we handle case-sensitivity: we don't fold
everything to lowercase because some systems are case-insensitive.
But perhaps they are not really analogous.
