Extend sample pre-commit hook to check for non ascii filenames

hvoigt · gitster · commit d00e364de99d · 2009-05-20T00:04:37.000-07:00
At the moment non-ascii encodings of filenames are not portably
converted between different filesystems by git. This will most likely
change in the future but to allow repositories to be portable among
different file/operating systems this check is enabled by default.
