I like this paragraf from your previous mail, I think it can go
into i18n.txt "as is":

ISO-8859-x file names may be fine if you won't ever need to:
- use git-web, JGit, gitk, git-gui...
- exchange repos with "normal" (UTF-8) Unices, Mac and Windows systems
- publish your work on a git hosting service (and expect file and
   ref names to show up correctly in the web interface)
- store the repo on Unicode-based file systems (JFS, Joliet, UDF,
   exFat, NTFS, HFS+, CIFS...)
