If we're worrying about such things (which I'm agnostic about), filenames ending in a dot are apparently also not allowed. When I turn a fresh checkout of -current into a mercurial repo I get these warnings: warning: filename contains 'aux', which is reserved on Windows: 'share/examples/libusb20/aux.c' warning: filename contains 'aux', which is reserved on Windows: 'share/examples/libusb20/aux.h' warning: filename ends with '.', which is not allowed on Windows: 'tools/test/sort/bigtest/q-1.024.003.' -- Ian _______________________________________________ svn-src-all@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/svn-src-all To unsubscribe, send any mail to "svn-src-all-unsubscr...@freebsd.org"
