Ok, sounds reasonable.
With respect to the storage inside the tree, using a duplicate name with

mode 0 or a name with some kind of rare extension...

It should probably be investigated how much of the existing core needs

to be touched/changed to support the duplicate name.

I agree that using a custom rare extension would allow for almost no

change to git-core.
