You have to obey the filename rules of both the client and server OSs
otherwise you hit options... so no : in the filename in win32, and be
careful of case sensitivity if you're using a Unix server. CVSNT adds
no additional requirements.
In addition on Windows you can't create files called the same name as
devices, so CON, LPT, etc. are disallowed (as are CON.TXT, LPT.TXT, etc.
- this is a holdover from DOS that's still present on Win32).
