Serious error!! I can't edit this repo in Windows because of the colon : character in the filename. 馃槦

Shouldn't the node_modules directory and this wiki directory be gitignored so that they don't show up in the repo? Technically, they shouldn't be included in the repo because they're not source files. They're only additional files which can be download later.

See what happens when I try to commit my changes.

Since I'm on windows, that wiki .md file doesn't get added in the working tree after cloning. So it means for git the file is deleted outside of git and when I try to commit my changes, it automatically adds that file to staging and ready for commit. And hence I'm unable to make a commit. 馃槦

@abhisekp you have to @ mention me or i won't get a notif.

so this is a problem, if people name files in the wiki like that, and its happened before. it will keep happening. and it messes up windows.

we could try ignoring the submodule files, i guess, and just do anything git/wiki related on a unix machine (where this isn't a problem, luckily).
