> How can I deal with an improper file name?

This is probably a question you should rather ask the TortoiseSVN guys,  
but I found the relevant section of their FAQ:

http://tortoisesvn.tigris.org/faq.html#cantmove

It links to this, which is a workaround for improper file names but  
requires write access to the repo:

http://tortoisesvn.tigris.org/faq.html#casechange

Since you only have read access, I would recommend downloading the file  
manually - renaming it to a valid name - and instructing TortoiseSVN to  
download every file and directory except the one with the improper name.  
You could also download every file and directory from SF.net - that  
probably is more work though. Notably, SF.net allows you to download a  
(.tar.gz) archive of an entire directory - you could download the entire  
repo this way, then extract all files and directories except the one with  
the improper name with your favourite archiver. The difference would be  
that the files ain't managed by TortoiseSVN then.


What might be the more relevant question is, why is there a file named  
"..." in the repo? (The path is mem/branches/mem14/) Its contents appear  
to be a zip file, though 7-Zip reports it as invalid. Notably, all bytes  
with the value 13 (CR) in the file are followed by bytes with the value 10  
(LF) which is probably an incorrect conversion done by the SF.net web  
interface, or by the uploading SVN client or the server. Examination of  
the file leads me to believe it is a source package of fdxms, which  
probably does not belong in the mem tree. So it appears the file is both  
improperly named (for Windows/DOS) and does not even belong into the repo.  
Maybe some developer knows more about the file.

Christian
