Filenames are C strings.  Filenames with NUL bytes simply do not
exist, at least as long as one is using the ANSI C or POSIX interfaces
for file access.

So as far as I can tell the story really is only about newlines.  (If
svn-fe tried to push history back to Subversion, life would presumably
be more complicated.)

Hoping that clarifies a little,
