I'm seeing stuff like this too, and it is unrelated to ssh. The problem
is that cvs download temp files into temp files named .new.%9 and the
9th character of that name is a dot. It appears that most windows file
systems don't allow trailing dots, apparently because of "8.3 filename"
legacy logic
If you're going to tack on a character at the end, shorten the length
from 9 to 8. I believe the goal is to keep the resulting string to 14
characters. Most likely this is to be compliant with _POSIX_NAME_MAX,
which in limits.h is 14.
