Ignore filenames during checkout?

Hello,

I'm doing a checkout of a 6 year old repository that was once used
solely by users with Macs, but I'm on Windows. Unfortunately, they
committed many files with colons in their names.

I understand the colon is reserved character in Windows' path names,
and thus the correct fix would be to do a repository side move of the
offending files to a more cross-platform friendly name.

At the moment, I don't have to work with these offending files, but
they are located in the same folder as other files I do need to modify.
I was wondering if there is someway through svn's command line that I
can recursively checkout the repository, but force it to skip
checking out those files which violate Windows naming conventions.

- Thank you,
- David Wang
