Subject: [PATCH] Extend sample pre-commit hook to check for non ascii file/usernames

From: Heiko Voigt <[email-masked]>
Date: Tue, 12 May 2009 23:43:00 +0200

At the moment non-ascii encodings of file/usernames are not very well
supported by git. This will most likely change in the future but to
allow repositories to be portable among different file/operating systems
this check is enabled by default.

I actually had this in my queue to be submitted...
