+What steps will reproduce the problem?
+
+Send a file with the character ':' in it. rsync fails to send those files from the command line as well
+confusing them with hostnames. As far as I know a workaround is prepending the pathname with './'
+(for rsync commandline invocation that is)
+
+What is the expected output? What do you see instead?
+
+    copy müzik/Mixxx/Recordings/2013-01-15_16h:13m:03s.mp3 (checking kaotik...) (to kaotik...) 
+    git-annex: //home/alip/kaotika/.git/annex/transfer/download/effe4eef-926f-494c-a3b6-eeecdc208fb9/SHA256-s36349200--ce51eaf316b19c61831

+
