OK, that's a usecase I'd like us to support.

We have *many* files in Git that have colons in their name, so
updating all that (and the blueprint fields in Redmine, and adding
RewriteRule's) is quite some work. Any taker?

(@Patrick: I suggest going the VM way unless someone
volunteers shortly.)

Note that there are more forbidden chars, see "Allowed characters in
filenames" on https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/NTFS.

Cheers!
