Hello,

so if I understand you correctly, even with the current buggy darcs it is safe 
to use non-ASCII characters in file/directory names because:

    1. the exact byte sequence of a name is never changed, it's just that the
       representation of names inside patches is strange

    2. if the representation inside patches is changed in the future (which
       will hopefully happen) then darcs will still handle patches with the
       old, strange representation correctly

Is this correct?
