That has the advantage that you're not making a copy and then trying
to sort out what changed and what didn't (with changing mtimes/etc).
Samba will do a deterministic mapping most likely.

But, windows might be able to handle filenames via samba that it can't
handle on FAT32.

This might be an interesting job for a FUSE filesystem as well.  I
think there is one that will dynamically convert flac to mp3, which
was designed for use cases like rsyncing to an mp3 player and such
without keeping two copies of your repository.
