Well, I don't know of many people using the original git on windows. Most of them using some graphical third-party tools. The main git suite is most often used on linux where a colon is a valid character For example using /mnt/c: as mount path for windows file systems or /bla/foo/dated_repository_2016-12-10_12:00.git for dated and timed repositories. My btrfs snapshot dir looks like: ~snapshot> l -gGhN [...] drwxr-x--x 1 296 2016-07-30T13:55 daily_2016-12-10_00:00:01.270213478 drwxr-x--x 1 296 2016-07-30T13:55 hourly_2016-12-10_05:00:01.372037552 [...] Compared to the backslash, although it is a perfect legal character in POSIX file systems, I do not know any use of it.
