COM0 is listed as a reserved file name at https://kizu514.com/blog/forbidden-file-names-on-windows-10/, but not at https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/win32/fileio/naming-a-file. The latter does talk about COM0 being a thing, though, in the "NT Namespaces" section.

So Git for Windows errs on the side of caution and interprets this as a reserved file name that cannot be used, not even with a file extension.

but it possible to create file COM0 in Windows 10 and I believe that on other Windows versions create that file is also possible

Sure, but I really want to make sure that this is not something that happens to work on your computer. That is why I erred on the side of caution. And I would really feel better if we had a link to official documentation that states that only COM1, ... COM9 are reserved, but not COM0...

In 4dc42c6 (mingw: refuse paths containing reserved names,
2019-12-21), we started disallowing file names that are reserved, e.g.
`NUL`, `CONOUT$`, etc.

This included `COM<n>` where `<n>` is a digit. Unfortunately, this
includes `COM0` but only `COM1`, ..., `COM9` are reserved, according to
the official documentation, `COM0` is mentioned in the "NT Namespaces"
section but it is explicitly _omitted_ from the list of reserved names:
https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/win32/fileio/naming-a-file#naming-conventions

Tests corroborate this: it is totally possible to write a file called
`com0.c` on Windows 10, but not `com1.c`.

So let's tighten the code to disallow only the reserved `COM<n>` file
names, but to allow `COM0` again.

This fixes git-for-windows#2470.

the official documentation, `COM0` is mentioned in the "NT Namespaces"
section but it is explicitly _omitted_ from the list of reserved names:
https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/win32/fileio/naming-a-file#naming-conventions

Tests corroborate this: it is totally possible to write a file called
`com0.c` on Windows 10, but not `com1.c`.

So let's tighten the code to disallow only the reserved `COM<n>` file
names, but to allow `COM0` again.

This fixes #2470.

In 4dc42c6 (mingw: refuse paths containing reserved names,
2019-12-21), we started disallowing file names that are reserved, e.g.
`NUL`, `CONOUT$`, etc.

This included `COM<n>` where `<n>` is a digit. Unfortunately, this
includes `COM0` but only `COM1`, ..., `COM9` are reserved, according to
the official documentation, `COM0` is mentioned in the "NT Namespaces"
section but it is explicitly _omitted_ from the list of reserved names:
