I have a working copy full of directories and filenames that contain
high-ascii characters.

When you run status, or update, or commit, we not only walk over
entries in the entries file (as UTF-8 strings), but sometimes we stat
the files directly as well. Then the UTF-8 paths and filenames need
to be converted to native charset so we can call apr_file_*()
routines, no?

Keep in mind, I'm assuming that the charset of your working copy is
somehow different than your system locale. But that's no more
far-fetched than possibly writing a log message in a locale different
than your system locale.
