Cygwin does not allow files with colons, I think this is Windows stuff

I wonder if the problem exists on Mac OS X too. From what I heard, it
does not treat ':' as a normal symbol.

The short answer is that Mac OS X's POSIX implementation works as expected (internally replacing ':' with '/') without issue.

Furthermore, my POSIX-like environment Lamp (Lamp ain't Mac POSIX) that runs on classic Mac OS (much in the manner of Cygwin) provides the same Unix filing behavior, so Mac filing syntax isn't an issue in running git on Mac OS 9. (I'm sure everybody's breathing a HUGE sigh of relief at this news...)
