name restrictions for projects, streams...

I've been having some troubles with the name of my project. At the moment it is called: "Squawker C++".

If I try to open the project link in my browser I am redirected to the Project's home page because '+' is a reserved character.


The same thing happens when I check my changes into my repo workspace. The project cannot be compiled any longer because there is a problem with the name. (After checking it in the name bares a reference to the workspace which is called mysquawkerRepo++).

So be careful to use certain symbols in names...

Would it be a good idea to restrict some characters being used in the names for projects, streams... etc??

If the operating system allows you to create files with that name then we
should support it.

Could you please file a bug and include steps to reproduce as well as
your platform information?

Thanks.
