If we're worrying about such things (which I'm agnostic about),
filenames ending in a dot are apparently also not allowed.  When I turn
a fresh checkout of -current into a mercurial repo I get these warnings:

warning: filename contains 'aux', which is reserved on Windows: 'share/examples/libusb20/aux.c'
warning: filename contains 'aux', which is reserved on Windows: 'share/examples/libusb20/aux.h'
warning: filename ends with '.', which is not allowed on Windows: 'tools/test/sort/bigtest/q-1.024.003.'
