Warning for the names in fasta.txt for the Pangenomics workflow

Hi,

I was using the Pangenomic workflow and had some errors that were due to the the names I have written in the fasta.txt file.

These names are used to reformat the headers of the contigs fasta files as mentioned in the Snakemake: (small typo there, but no judging)

This is required to make sure taht the headers don't contain
any charachters that anvi'o doesn't like.It give contigs
meaningful names; so that if the group name is 'MYSAMPLE01', the
contigs would look like this:
> MYSAMPLE01_000000000001
> MYSAMPLE01_000000000002

Very sadly, I used the unwanted - in the names and that was the reason of the errors. Do you think it is worth to check these names ahead of the workflow and raise a warning ?

Cheers for the v5-3 ! Florian

I think that is a good idea @FlorianTrigodet.

Thank you for reporting!
