"B.A.T." is not a valid windows directory name, can't end with dot #49

Closed egzumer closed 3 years ago

There is "B.A.T." and "B.A.T" directories in this repo. Windows automatically converts "B.A.T." to "B.A.T" upon creation which leads to clash error with the second "B.A.T" dir. Actually both directories contain the same data and one should be deleted.

It's approved, but I'm still curious. Did you try to clone this repo on windows? Because it results in error, which has to be resolved manually. I wasn't aware that on windows you can't create directory ending with dot. Try it yourself. Even better, try running in command line : "mkdir a..\\\\" :)

Should we rename it to BAT for better compatibility? I have no Windows to test with.

If you ask me only the last dot causes a headache. And to prove that it is a problem: https://www.google.com/search?q=windows+dot+ended&oq=windows+dot+ended+&aqs=chrome..69i57j69i60.4680j0j7&sourceid=chrome&ie=UTF-8
