Today I found that there is a problem with some files in regards to the svn add command (on Windows 7):
svn add Fasadändring&Attefalltillbyggnad.pdf svn: warning: W155010: 'D:\Bosse\Fasadändring' not found svn: E200009: Could not add all targets because some targets don't exist svn: E200009: Illegal target for the requested operation 'Attefalltillbyggnad.pdf' is not recognized as an internal or external command, operable program or batch file. Why does this happen? The & character is a fully legal part of a file name at least on Windows... I tried to find a list of characters that Subversion does not like, but apparently there is none. So is it in fact not possible to use & inside a file name in Svn (1.9.7)? Is there a workaround? (I replaced the & with a hyphen just to be able to continue, but got curious... While googling I found that trying to create a seemingly innocent file by name aux.txt also fails! It was mentioned as one of the (undocumented) "features" of Windows. I tried and sure enough there was an error. -- Bo Berglund Developer in Sweden
