I've encountered old repositories where some path names
were apparently not converted properly into UTF8 but
contained whatever locale-based strings the client sent.

Those would still match "*.someExtension" and similar
patterns despite having non-UTF8. I would like to cover
those as well.

I see 3 options here:

1. Make these cases a non-match, hiding them in the output.
2. Handle these cases in the callers, duplicating that part.
3. Keep it as it is.
