Of course, it's easy to work around by substituting a hyphen instead. But there's more! Figuring that this bug has to do with the fact that forward slash is often used as an escape charcter, I tried creating a folder with a DOUBLE forward slash in it. I expected a name to be created with a single forward slash but it fooled me: The exact name IS created (with the double forward slash), BUT....you can't delete this folder! And, you can't rename it either! So now I have a local folder called test//hello that I can't get rid of. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. 2. 3.
