Hi List Admins. Sorry, but I couldn't find a list admin address on the web site for this, so I'm sending it to the list itself.
I'm sure others have seen this too, but any time I post to the list I'm getting a bounce from world.deshaw.com. Could an admin track down this subscriber and remove them from the list?
Thanks,
Matt Pounsett

It's possible you could escape it like so: "tmp\#1.txt", but I'm not confident that will work. If svn can't deal with this one you might have a case for it being a bug, since it is technically a legal file name.
