Undeleteable file on Vista

I found a bug that may or may not be in tortise svn, we have users that use svn from their mac machines, they created a file with a : (colon) in the file name, this character isn't valid in the windows world, so when you update it tries to download the file but then errors because it isn't valid, you can't delete the invalid file in vista through normal means, you have to do a dir /x to get the old pre windows file name i.e. BADFIL~1 and delete it using that name. I was able to rename the file in the repo browser in the repository so we don't get this problem again.
