Where the hell did you get the idea that there is such a policy?

You are extrapolating discussion about four characters in two files
between two individuals to a tree-wide project-wide policy. That is
absolutely unreasonable!

Don't assume.. Especially not based on extrapolation like that.

Either we have a policy or we do not. If we have a policy then why do
we care what the sample hook does?

I don't think so and quite likely they would break things, so I
would be in favor of a policy to only allow ASCII filenames.

You shouldn't have pushed a commit in the first place without
strong consensus to back it up. Working together, communication,
all that.
