Some file names that are okay on ext4 and on HFS+ are illegal in Windows. In order to stay truly platform-independent, Git's source code must not contain such illegal file names, even if things just happen to work on Linux.
One such file name was recently introduced into Git's `pu` branch: t4013/diff.diff_--diff-line-prefix=-->_master_master^_sidt4013/diff.diff_--diff-line-prefix=-->_master_master^_sid It is illegal because it contains the '>' character that is not part of a valid filename on Windows. To catch these issues early, let's introduce a new test-lint-* goal that fails if such file names were detected and run it as part of a `make test`.
