Description Jerker Bäck 2012-09-05 16:30:01 UTC

It's not an unlikely event or wish to checkout FreeBSD source on a Windows machine. There are however some potential risks of filename conflicts in the Windows NTFS filesystem. Here is a list of forbidden names: http://blog.onetechnical.com/2006/11/16/forbidden-file-and-folder-names-on-windows/

As it happens, FreeBSD source contains files with forbidden names in Windows, making it hard to checkout the source.
share/examples/libusb20/aux.*

Some tools may bypass the rules and succeed even if the names are illegal (e.g. Cygwin subversion), which is actually worse than fail.

Would it be possible for FreeBSD to rename these files to something nicer for us poor Windows users? :)

Fix: 

rename 
share/examples/libusb20/aux.c
share/examples/libusb20/aux.h

to something else
How-To-Repeat: Checkout FreeBSD (svn://svn.freebsd.org/base/head) by Collabnet subversion tools for Windows (http://www.collab.net/products/subversion).

Hans Petter Selasky fixed it in r257779, as a new bug report had been filed
later on.

I'm just marking this one as the duplicate even though it's older, as the
other one has already been handled completely.
