I posted a first draft of a patch to try and do this a while ago;
unfortunately I've been distracted by other things and I'm not able
to work on this any more. If someone wants you can probably find my

But it would be nice if SVN checked for NUL, COM1 etc when checking out on
Windows, and gave an informative message. My patch tried to do this.

Kind regards,
