Hmm so the quoting behavior in 1.1.0 isn't foolproof, in that there
could be some filesystem that was case insensitive, yet still
supported a filename of À ("\300").  If you tried to back this
filesystem up to a HFS+ system, then rdiff-backup wouldn't quote at
all, and would barf on the À files.

I don't think there is a read-only way to test for this stuff though,
and in practice I don't know if this will ever come up.
