Sorry, but I don't believe you. A file with such a name simply *can't*
be checked out on windows, no matter which tool you use to do it. That's
an illegal filename, which Windows will reject with the error message
you mentioned above.
This has nothing to do with TSVN/Subversion but with Windows and its
filesystem.
