[issue2244] Cloning/syncing a repository whose path contains a hash sign is broken

[Sebastian Krysmanski]

New submission from Sebastian Krysmanski <infomail at lordb.de>:

One can't clone/sync with a repository whose path contains a hash sign (#;
number sign). Today I tried to clone a repository a "D:\Programing\C#
Programs\MyProject" which didn't work. I got the error "D:\Programing\C is
not a directory" (or something similar). I had to rename the directory to
"CSharp Programs" and than it worked again.

Also I tried the following:

C:\>hg clone "path:z:\programmieren\c# programme\WoM"
abort: repository path:z:\programmieren\c not found!

C:\>hg clone "path://z:/programmieren/c# programme/WoM"
abort: repository path://z:/programmieren/c not found!

C:\>hg clone "path:z:/programmieren/c# programme/WoM"
abort: repository path:z:/programmieren/c not found!

C:\>hg clone "file:z:/programmieren/c# programme/WoM"
abort: repository z:/programmieren/c not found!

C:\>hg clone "file://z:/programmieren/c# programme/WoM"
abort: repository C:/programmieren/c not found!

C:\>hg clone "path:z:/programmieren/c\# programme/WoM"
abort: repository path:z:/programmieren/c\ not found!

C:\>hg clone "z:/programmieren/c\# programme/WoM"
abort: repository z:/programmieren/c\ not found!

I'm using Mercurial 1.5.4 on Windows 7 (64 bit).
