filename symbols can not check out on windows

Getting this on a Windows checkout:

You can inspect what was checked out with 'git status'
and retry the checkout with 'git checkout -f HEAD'

Also, these look like Haskell's monad syntax, which I approve of tremendously -- https://www.haskell.org/tutorial/monads.html

Love you all.

hi @ilzxc ! thanks!

I'm guessing that's a windows file name limitation issue... do you know if that's the case off the top of your head? I could google of course : )

p.s. @ilzxc the update is going to break all your patches! so maybe save a back up version of the older release. We changed the names to be cnmat. instead of m158. and m158.o.points.buffer~ is now cnmat.o.phase.points~

Whether or not you want to worry about Windows is completely up to you, just a heads up. (This won’t go away, so if you want Windows support — leq, less, geq, greater, and whatever the right name for ??= is.)

PS odot runs well in x64, but that’s for a different thread.

working on fixing this as we speak, ... calling ??= "init" for now.

great to hear about x64!

[ramagottfried]

ok just pushed, let me know if that fixes it

[ilzxc]

Almost -- fatal: cannot create directory at 'patchers/course/dev/o.*~_dev': Invalid argument

calling ??= "init" for now.

how about ncao?

[ramagottfried]

thanks @ilzxc, fixed, does it work now?

@equilet just to make you happy I changed the name to odot-null_coalescing_operator.maxhelp : )

[ilzxc]

This is now resolved, thanks ;)
