Download of git repo to Windows fails, because of colon in folder name

[Download]

When I try to download this Git repository to windows (using TortoiseGit) it fails with an error message about a folder with a colon in it:

git.exe clone -v "git://github.com/bnd/bnd.git" "D:\Stijn\workspace\bnd"

Creating a folder with a colon in it is not possible in Windows Explorer, neither can it be done from the command line. In both cases Windows will complain about the colon being an illegal character in a folder name. Maybe you can rename that folder so people on Windows can download as well?

Hmm, was a copy of a maven repo for testing. I removed the culprits.
