... this really shouldn't be necessary.  If the filename validation
logic (however it works, and whatever the necessary division of labor
is between monotone and the OS) is properly designed, it will be aware
of different file systems and do the right thing.  The hook you
suggest is asking users to fix our bugs for us.
