Advanced Topics Name and String Limitations
BitKeeper has the following limitations for file names and contents:
-
File Names
There are several characters to be aware of when naming files: * The "|" character
* The "/" character on Unix
* The space character BitKeeper does not allow the pipe, "|", character in file names, Unix users should quote file names that contain a slash, "/". If a repository is going to be used by developers on both Unix and windows, it is important to remember that windows does not distinguish between upper and lower case letters, but Unix does distinguish between the cases so choose file names accordingly. -
File Content
BitKeeper does not support null characters in an ascii file's contents. If it discovers a null character in a file, BitKeeper treats the file as if it is binary and will uuencode the file. -
Path/Name lengths
Full path names to a file is limited to 1023 characters in length.
