Bug report: Characters in file names

(Please CC, I'm not on the list!)

First of all, thank you for making such an excellent windows client for SVN.

Secondly, I've found a 100% (easily) reproducible bug in the Tortoise.

Simply put, when comitting a file with a character that is allowed in
unix - for instance, ":", the commits works without problems.

When trying to check out this file on Windows, a rather strange error
message is given, of course as an indirect effect of the main problem:
the ":" character can't be used in filenames on Windows.

I guess a local-renaming-scheme where the file would simply be called
something else in the checkout would be pretty difficult, but could we
at least have a situation where the file is not checked out, and a
warning given? Or, just a more instructive error message?

Thank you.
