I'm trying to make rdiff-backup a little friendlier on Mac OS X now.
Does anyone know offhand what characters are allowable in a Mac OS X
filename?
Technote 1150 describes the HFS Plus volume format in great detail:

In particular, there's a table with a list of illegal characters
here: http://developer.apple.com/technotes/tn/tn1150table.html
I'm asking because I need to figure out exactly when we don't need to
quote characters. As long as the source directory is non-empty (and
has a filename that has a letter in it), then we can tell whether that
directory is case-sensitive. But it's harder to tell whether or not a
source (and thus read-only) directory supports characters like a colon
or a backslash.
Maybe it's because I'm new to rdiff-backup, but I can't understand
why you need to determine the capabilities of the source file system?
