checkout: disallow bad paths on win32 · 9686c6bb
Disallow: 1. paths with trailing dot 2. paths with trailing space 3. paths with trailing colon 4. paths that are 8.3 short names of .git folders ("GIT~1") 5. paths that are reserved path names (COM1, LPT1, etc). 6. paths with reserved DOS characters (colons, asterisks, etc) These paths would (without \\?\ syntax) be elided to other paths - for example, ".git." would be written as ".git". As a result, writing these paths literally (using \\?\ syntax) makes them hard to operate with from the shell, Windows Explorer or other tools. Disallow these.
