Bad file/dir names stop cloning of repo on Windows

[glennsarti]

Unfortunately the directory at static/events/2013-atlanta/proposals/The DevOps Pay Raise: Quantifying Your Value to Move Up the Ladder contains an invalid filename character (:) which means the devopsdays-web repo can never be cloned on a Windows system. (or at the very least checkout the current HEAD of 29d6da2)

Possible solution: Rename the file to something that does not include invalid Windows characters. While this means Windows users will not be able to checkout previous commits, at least they will be able to checkout master HEAD.

Ref: Windows Naming Conventions https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/windows/desktop/aa365247(v=vs.85).aspx

[glennsarti]

It is unclear the from README whether this repo should be able to used on Windows. Given that Hugo is cross platform I assumed Windows would be a "supported", or at least, allowed platform to use.

I audited the repo for bad file names. Result is below;

Just over 100 files are bad.

@glennsarti - can you try a fresh clone of the repo now, to see if it works better on Windows?

[glennsarti]

@mattstratton Can I please get this issue re-opened?

[glennsarti]

@mattstratton I ran my check script over the repo and that london file is the only one outstanding....so close...

[mattstratton]

Looks like it's just the 2016-London proposals, right? I can do a workaround for them.

[mattstratton]

I think our best move is just to redirect 2016-london to legacy. I'll test this later tonight.

[mattstratton]

Even better - those files aren't used. I think I can just delete them. I'll test

[glennsarti]

Forgot to check ALL files not just the first failure...

So all but one are in the 2016 London event. The Vancouver one is interesting. It's complaining about the en-dash but it is a valid character for a Windows filename.

Confirmed that if remove the /static/event/2016-london directory I can clone the repo from Windows. I'll try and run Hugo next. Any issues I'll raise a separate ticket.

Can you do a fresh clone and see if this fixes everything? I'm not sure if we have to purge them from history as wel as just remove them, which is what I did in #986

Oh happy day....!!!!!!

I'm not too concerned about history removal. That would just make it possible to go back to previous commits, which is not a typical use case.

[mattstratton]

Yeah, with regard to history, I just didn't know if the .git directory would have some files that were bad on Windows.

[glennsarti]

They come in as objects so no, not original filenames.

@mattstratton Thanks for all your work on this! :tada:
