Funny, I precisely hit this issue a few seconds before reading this 
message... Come to think of it, I should have used Bzr Explorer...
Anyway, I excluded the bin/ directories from my repository, but I wanted 
to add some .properties files from there (JavaFX looks where it has the 
classes, so I have to put them there).
I wanted to do:

 > bzr add _QuickExperiments\bin\*.properties
bzr: ERROR: [Error 123] Syntaxe du nom de fichier, de rÚpertoire ou de 
volume incorrecte: 
u'D:/_PhiLhoSoft/JavaFX/_QuickExperiments/bin/*.properties'

So I added the three files by hand (using autocompletion of shell), 
because it would have been longer to use a CMD FOR command or similar 
(as I have to lookup reference for it, etc.).

Annoying, but as I wrote, I should have used the GUI I have...

Another annoying point is that once the bin/ dir have been added, the 
ignore directive no longer apply to the remainder of the content (but at 
least I excluded the .class files).
