Comment(by dluke@…):

 Isn't the patch solution 1 from
 http://svn.collab.net/repos/svn/trunk/notes/unicode-composition-for-
 filenames ?

 {{{
 Solution (1) has a very strong CON: it will break all pre-existing
 MacOSX-only workshops.  Consider a client which starts sending NFC
 encoded paths in an environment where all paths have been NFD encoded
 until that time - without proper support in the server.  This would
 result in commits with NFC encoded paths to files for which the path
 in the repository is NFD encoded: breakage.
 }}}

 I would rather use a patch that has been accepted to svn trunk (or if
 there is going to be a release shortly to fix this, then wait for that).

 If neither option is appearing soon, perhaps including it in a variant may
 be reasonable (although not really ideal).
