If you have both Unix and Windows boxes on the same project, it's very possible for someone on Unix to create a file with an invalid character or name for Windows. For example, aux.java is an invalid file name on Windows.
I have a pre-commit trigger that allows you to ban characters or file names from being added into your Subversion repository.
