Description

See this code: https://github.com/ForNeVeR/Fenrir/blob/5cfa3e6f51eaf3d1f2e08fb5d08c10ef8dcb9178/Fenrir.Git/Commands.fs#L82-L93

Currently, it seems we read the file names from tree objects in ASCII.

We should figure out what's the real encoding Git uses, and also use that to read the tree objects.

Contributor guide

Research direction
Investigate Git's tree object encoding for filenames, likely UTF 8 or path encoding, and update the F# code in Fenrir.Git/Commands.fs to decode filenames accordingly instead of reading as ASCII.
