Comment(by simonmar):
`5975.patch` looks fine - I think the previous encoding/decoding was to
handle Unicode filenames before we got support for them in the IO library.
We should have a test for this too, though I'm not sure whether it will
work to add a file with non-ASCII chars to the repo, it might be safer to
generate one when we run the test.
Good catch on the race condition. I don't remember all the details here.
It looks like exceptionFlag should be per-thread. But if your patch works
around it and all the tests pass then I'm happy for it to go in.
