I'm trying to make rdiff-backup a little friendlier on Mac OS X now.
Does anyone know offhand what characters are allowable in a Mac OS X
filename?
I'm asking because I need to figure out exactly when we don't need to
quote characters. As long as the source directory is non-empty (and
has a filename that has a letter in it), then we can tell whether that
directory is case-sensitive. But it's harder to tell whether or not a
source (and thus read-only) directory supports characters like a colon
or a backslash.
So if Mac OS X supports everything except case sensitivity (and '/',
and NULL). But if there is other support missing things could become
more complicated.
