Actually, on NT+ and an NTFS partition colons are legal characters...
The bug is the svn libraries don't implement stream creation that the
colon delimits the access to... The caveat about reserved device names
still does apply, though.

I was able to rename the file in the repo browser in the repository so we don't get this problem again.
