Rules for filenames in bazaar?

Hi,

In connection with cvs2bzr, I am wondering exactly what characters are
allowed in filenames in bazaar.  (git-fast-import appears to accept all
characters in filenames, and requires only LF and " to be escaped.)

* Are certain bytes forbidden (e.g., NUL, control characters, etc?)

* Do filenames have to be valid Unicode (e.g., utf-8)?

* Any other random rules?

* Does "bzr fast-import" have any additional restrictions?

Thanks,
Michael
