[jira] Commented: (COUCHDB-67) Allow periods (".") in database names

["Travis Swicegood (JIRA)" <ji...@apache.org>]

    [ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/COUCHDB-67?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=12619281#action_12619281 ] 

Travis Swicegood commented on COUCHDB-67:
-----------------------------------------

So long as you don't allow it to start with a period, you should be fine on the big three (*nix, BSD, and Windows).  See the docs for git-check-ref-format - it's explicitly bound to what a filesystem will allow.

> Allow periods in database names. We need to find out if a period is among the "safe" characters that can be used for filenames on most filesystems.
