Description (last modified by daira)

Daira and I were just discussing using an escape character to represent directory "/"... we're thinking to use "@" as the escape character. It should work the same way bash backslashes work... if the user specified an @ character in the directory name then we escape it by specifying two of them @@

ok my rough draft code for this is here: ​https://github.com/david415/tahoe-lafs/tree/magic-path-encoding.1

should i close this ticket as a duplicate? i noticed Daira commented about this task in that other ticket here: ​https://tahoe-lafs.org/trac/tahoe-lafs/ticket/2438

We changed the escape for "/" to "@_", since escaping it as a single "@" would be ambiguous. (Consider "foo/@/bar" and "foo@@bar" which both escape to "foo@@@@bar" in the previous scheme.)
