A file in the archive is typically named [Content-Types].xml with those brackets.

Fossil refuses to handle this file. I think this is because there are GLOB operations in the source code having looked it up quickly.

But I am pretty sure it is possible with SQLite to GLOB 'a\?b' ESCAPE '\'

Thank you for understanding this issue.

Highly experimental fix for this committed in [82ce90f91c]. Should get a lot more testing before going into trunk

Feedback welcome.
