RE: cvs2svn 2.4.0 does not work for me

Hello,


Yes, after some check MSWindows does not allow those characters in filenames: 
/ \ : * ? < >  |


More simply, concerning the test suite, is there any way to exclude some file during checkout by some sort of --exclude=PATTERN option. That would allow you to run the test suite quite simply by just excluding those files the names of which are not relevant for the concerned platform --- and that would allow me to get the latest from repo.



I could not find such option in the documentation.


VBR,
   Vincent.
