D:\usr\eli\bzr>bzr branch git://git.sv.gnu.org/libunwind.git
bzr: ERROR: File exists: u'D:/usr/eli/bzr/libunwind.git/aux': [Error 183] Cannot create a file when that file already exists
This happens because "AUX" is a reserved name on MS-Windows (it's a
character device).
Is there any way around this in bzr? Should I file a bug report?
Thanks.
