Subject: Prohibit Windows special chars in filenames
X-Git-Url: http://xenbits.xensource.com/gitweb?a=commitdiff_plain;h=8f21ae7046c5d7ed4b76ae757c5aa3e3a496d52d;p=libvirt.git

Prohibit Windows special chars in filenames

Using any of these chars [:*?"<>|] in a filename is forbidden on
Windows and breaks git operations on Windows as git is not able
to create those files/directories on clone or pull.

Because some of them can be used in UNIX filenames they tend to
creep into filenames; especially : in PCI/SCSI device names that
are used as filenames in test cases.
