Convert mode will store Perforce paths with illegal characters.
Later attempts to integrate these
files to a different location in Perforce return an error similar to:
"Non-printable characters not allowed in '//importisedepot/branches/ise_12_fcs_patch15_br/cpm/jars/devicedeploy/^?^?'.
It also appears to be impossible (or extremely difficult) to delete, rename or obliterate these files since they have unprintable characters.
In Import mode, these same files return the "Non-printable characters" error during conversion, so the resulting Perforce depot never gets the bad paths.
Hi Norman, please can you send me an example dump file, or run an od -t x1 on the SVN 'Node-path' in the dump. I need to know the exact characters causing the issue and the platform being used.
