Two problems with this:

1) How does subversion know the name isn't normalised? I'm pretty sure
this would require another library dependency, be it ICU or whatever.

2) When the user gets this message, what can he do about it? I don't
think most flavors of Unix include a utility to convert UTF-8 text
between NFC and NFD, much less rename files for you. So this would
require hunting down such a utility and adding its name to a README
somewhere.

As for 1), I think we probably should do this anyway. I have no idea
about 2).
