While we can use fake go.mod files to prevent golang tooling from descending into test data directories that contain files with a ':' in their name, this is not enough. There are other tools, unfortunately hosted on non-unix OSes, that do not like ':'s in file names. Cloning the repository fails on these and prevents the hosted tools from working at all.
As a workaround, hide offending (test data) files in tarballs and introduce unit test setup and cleanup hooks to extract these tarballs on demand.
