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
