Description
Hello,
Because of the 'japanese/prn' directory, users with windows 10 systems can't fetch repository.
Microsoft use special convention for files names : https://docs.microsoft.com/fr-fr/windows/desktop/FileIO/naming-a-file
Do not use the following reserved names for the name of a file: CON, PRN, AUX, NUL, COM1, COM2, COM3, COM4, COM5, COM6, COM7, COM8, COM9, LPT1, LPT2, LPT3, LPT4, LPT5, LPT6, LPT7, LPT8, and LPT9.
I personnaly use Eclyps with eGit on Windows 10 computer and it is not possible to use https://github.com/pfsense/FreeBSD-ports
Resulting in partial fetch, with always the same eclyps error : 'invalid path japanese/prn'
Someone experienced the same issue with other repository : http://kizu514.com/blog/forbidden-file-names-on-windows-10/
Maybe many developpers may have the same problem.
