Commit messages already store their encoding in an optional
"encoding" header if the message isn't stored in UTF-8, or
US-ASCII, which is a strict subset of UTF-8.

As for file names, no plans, its a sequence of bytes, but I think a
lot of people wind up using some subset of US-ASCII for their file
names, especially if their project is going to be cross platform.
