This is perhaps a non-typical use case but I'm trying to take a daily
snapshot of a network share here at work. Thousands of files in thousands of
folders over which I don't have any control but for which I'd still like to
see a daily change history.

I'm using a command like this to get new files into a commit:
   fossil extras   | xargs2 /addquotes fossil add

For a few files I see the following error:
   fossil: filename contains illegal characters: prep_20100113[1] clean/
135816_0001.ps

I understand it's the square brackets that are causing this error but not
why this is by design. Could someone explain the rationale?

Also, is there a way to get these files into fossil without renaming them?

Thanks,

Kevin
