I installed an svn client on my Windows machine and tried to checkout
the repository.  That died with the following error message:

  svn: E720123: Can't move 'D:\gnu\svn\texinfo\trunk\.svn\tmp\svn-FC7ADFF' to 
'D:\gnu\svn\texinfo\trunk\texi2html\test\info_coverage\f--ile""\.txt': The 
filename, directory name, or volume label syntax is incorrect.

The problem here is that the repository contains files whose names
include characters that are not allowed on Windows filesystems, in
this case, the " quote character and the \ backslash character.
(There's another file with these characters in the same directory,
f--ile""\.png.)

Can these files please be renamed to more portable names?  Having them
in the repository makes it impossible for me to track the development.

TIA
