I think the default should be Unicode. Users begin to use non-ASCII file 
names only when they get support from all the tools they use.
First, you create a file, run the tools, check the result and only then 
commit and push the changeset.

When new repositories are created with the proper style (UTF-8 encoded file 
names), it helps to solve the backwards compatibility. Otherwise we will be 
forever stuck with the legacy layout.
