One month ago, unit tests were added to IDLE (cool!) with a file called @README.txt. The @ was used to see the name on top in a listing of the directory.
It's like this. Whenever you use special characters in a file name, you're asking for trouble. The shell and the OS have negotiate how to interpret it. It bigger than git, and not a bug. The issue is between the file system, the kernel, and the shell.
I also had the issue on 3 different computers, and so I reported the issue upstream: http://bz.selenic.com/show_bug.cgi?id=3954
Try it on different OS's on different machines (MacOS, Linux, Windows) . If my theory is right, it should be inconsistent across machines, but consistent within the same machine. -- MarkJ Tacoma, Washington
