backslashes in filenames not allowed

The repository contains a file named:

testset/filenames/files/'\

and that seems to confuse bzr-svn somehow

whoops, wrong status

Bazaar doesn't allow backslashes as characters in filenames, only as
path separators. bzr-svn should probably ignore files with backslashes
in their name and warn about them.

I've just committed a fix that makes bzr-svn print a saner error
message.

It would be ok with me to fix Bazaar to accept backslashes (and just refuse to check them out on windows).

That would make sense to me. What about invalid UTF8 characters?

Never mind, I haven't actually run across any invalid UTF8 characters so far.

Reassigning this to bzr.

Allowing \ in file names in Bazaar is the first step to handle backslashes more gracefully (bug 81844). I suggest to reopen this specific bug (now a duplicate of 81844).

I'd just like to bump this issue as well.

I'd love to use bzr-svn to work with a repo that has at some point in its history contained a file with a backslash in it. Thankfully the file was renamed to something sane, but since bzr won't allow such a name in its history, I'm locked out of using bzr-svn with that svn project for good. As projects accumulate more history, the likelihood of having something like this muck up a bzr-svn branch grows.
