Yes, these files are intentionally named with strange characters to make
sure that cvs2svn can handle them when they are in a CVS repository.
Subversion on Linux and git on Linux are both able to handle them.  But
I see that according to [1], double-quotes are not allowed in Windows
filenames.

If we want to fix this, we would have to rename the filenames in the
test repositories more safely.  Then, when running the test suite, check
what platform we are running on and create only the bizarrely-named
files that are allowed on that platform.  (This is similar to what we do
for the non-ascii-cvsrepos test repository.)

These files are only part of the cvs2svn test data, so if you don't want
to run the tests you don't need them (assuming that the rest of cvs2svn
was checked out OK).
