New submission from Francis Upton <francis at oaklandsoftware.com>:

On a Linux machine I did

> hg init test
> cd test
> cat > CON
File called CON (control-d)
> hg add CON
> hg commit -m "added CON"

On the windows machine I did:

PS C:\d\workspaces\transformhg> hg clone g:/d/machine/hg/test
destination directory: test
updating to branch default
File called CON
abort: The system cannot find the file specified: 
C:\d\workspaces\transformhg\test\CON
PS C:\d\workspaces\transformhg> hg version
Mercurial Distributed SCM (version 1.6)
