Jelmer, thank you for all the work to improve brz/bzr. I have a few remaining questions:
How does this fail on a DOS/Windows filesystem? We aren't flagging the backslash in filenames anymore with InvalidEntryName. Are we depending on the OS to throw an exception now? For the users' sakes I hope it is at least as explanatory as ours was.

With this change we no longer even complain about the backslash in a filename. What about warning the user about incompatibility with DOS/Windows filesystems?
