Hi Jason,
you can change the separator - called 'combinator' in the Jenkins
sources - by setting a Java system property when launching Jenkins, e.g.
java -Dhudson.slaves.WorkspaceList=ยง -jar jenkins.war
The combinator defaults to "@" when this system property is unset. BTW,
from looking at the sources, the combinator does not have to be a single
character. It is defined in
https://github.com/jenkinsci/jenkins/blob/master/core/src/main/java/hudson/slaves/WorkspaceList.java#L265
.
Note that this is an undocumented feature and subject to change without
prior notice - so use it at your own risk ;o)
Cheers,
Simon.

When marking a job as able to run concurrently on the same node, Jenkins
will append a @X (where X is the number of the concurrent build) to the
normal workspace directory to get a new, unique workspace directory.
Normally, this is all fine and good, but we've encountered a couple
tools that cannot handle a @ in the path name even though the operating
system can.
Is there some way to change the @ character to something else? Say
maybe a double underscore (__) or something?
Thanks,
Jason
