as non-ASCII characters are not allowed in our source [1], I assume they
are also not allowed in file names.

The sample pre-commit hook shipped by git has a check for non-ASCII file
names, which can be disabled by a config option.

Are there any circumstances where non-ASCII characters might be needed?
If not, Peter is right and the option can be removed from the script,
which I would do then.

Thanks,

Paul
