This requirement has no sense: Git can potentially work on an unbounded number of filesystems so there's no sensible way to implement such a check in Git itself. Another thing to consider is that if a developer knows up front that their code will ever be worked with on systems having only, say, POSIX-compliant filesystems (which only prohibit NUL and '/' in the pathnames of the files they store), they might as well decide to use "|" or "?" or whatever other funny characters in the names of files they use in the project -- why not? What you *can* do though is to write (and distribute among your developers) a pre-commit hook [1] which will check the files about to be committed and abort the commit if it finds something strange. Another option is to implement such checking in a centralized repository, if you have one. P.S. All in all, I think your problem is a purely political one, not techincal: I don't think it's that hard to circulate a message among your developers stating that they should use only simple names for their files. Those who fail that can be routinely penalized using methods known for centuries. 1. https://www.kernel.org/pub/software/scm/git/docs/githooks.html -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Git for human beings" group.
