I thought git handled the windows special file names. Am I misremembering or is it a difference (and thus a bug) in libgit2? (used by cargo, afaik)

I believe that git chokes by default on special file names on Windows, but I think there's a config variable that you can set to fix it. I don't know if libgit2 differs here.

Regular old git will fail; I tried to check out MINIX's source code a month ago and the clone failed since a file was named COM.
