then: if you had checked the log for that url, you'd have noticed that
the file -WHAT-.txt was named ?WHAT?.txt in revisions before r28723,
such a name can't be used on Windows at all ('?' is an illegal char for
file/foldernames). That's why the file was renamed in r28723 to -WHAT-.txt.
Checking out HEAD of that url works just fine.
