error during import from git / filenaming issue

[frankwhofmann]

"bzr fast-import" breaks due to a unusal filename:

hofmann@server:/data/SAVED_CONTENT/CLIENT_BACKUP/home/hofmann/WORKSPACE/swdev$ git fast-export master | (cd /data/BZR_REPOSITORIES/SWDEV; bzr fast-import -)
ABORT: exception occurred processing commit :5485
bzr: ERROR: bzrlib.errors.InvalidEntryName: Invalid entry name: Index of \maven\2\com\sun\mojarra\mojarra-scales\.desktop

*** Bazaar has encountered an internal error. This probably indicates a

    and including a description of the problem.

    The crash file is plain text and you can inspect or edit it to remove

----------------------------------------------------------------------------
the filename in question, which causes the error, is
"Index of \maven\2\com\sun\mojarra\mojarra-scales\.desktop"
and contains blanks as well ass backslashes!
(not invented by me, but part of a download from the JavaEE ecosystem).
Looks like bzr cannot handle yet all possible filenames (escaping issue).

supplement/correction:
I was wrong stating that I downloaded the file which made bzr crash -- correct is that the filename was generated automatically when I dropped the download location from firefox to the Gnome desktop, and copying that later into the archive tree to document where the file is from. I suppose that firefox deduced the strange filename from the html title of the download page, but anyway: bzr should be able to handle this (as git did).
