Today, one colleague of mine was claiming that he was not able to clone my repository. I'm on Linux, he's on Windows. In disbelief, I fire up my Win VM and try. Indeed, I get "cannot checkout to invalid path aux/foo/0001-bar.patch". At first I thought Windows cannot support 5-character extensions, but then I realized it just doesn't support "aux". Coincidentally, I also had a aux.py somewhere in the repo, which was also badly received. I meant to use aux for auxiliary stuff, and the name didn't sound too crazy at the beginning, but then it is for Windows after all. Just a tale for precautionary naming.
