No, since you just prove my assumptions were partially wrong.
The inability to remove a repository from command line is a bit of a pain, but if it works from Windows Explorer, then it's fine. Not everybody have this kind of repo, and it's a small price to pay.
The filename transformation when copying a repository is more problematic because it breaks it and this case is likely to happen with backup tools.
So, the situation is still not good but it's not a complete dead end yet.
