Windows cannot have filenames with ":". Having these in the docs/wiki folder is a bit annoying when working with people who use Windows.

My problem is they will be removed from our git repository when they check in a completely different file but I suppose on Windows unpacking the distribution will also give errors.

Is it possible to rename them?

I've looked into this a lot. If I remove the ":" from the title, github no longer puts the file into a subdirectory, instead it just puts it in the root. This is probably okay, but not as clean as I would like it. I'm going to look into alternatives and get back.

As a workaround for the moment, you should be able to tell your git client on windows to not clone the wiki submodule.

probably should just rename the files when making release tarball. unlikely for someone to matter that the markdown relative links stay working
