Greetings,

is there a way  (short of sending all standard error  to "/dev/null") to
get rid of such warnings?

   $ uname -o
   GNU/Linux
   $ /usr/bin/hg version
   Mercurial Distributed SCM (version 5.8.1)
   (see https://mercurial-scm.org for more information)

   $ /usr/bin/hg init repo
   $ cd repo
   $ touch 'a*'
   $ /usr/bin/hg addremove
   adding a*
   warning: filename contains '*', which is reserved on Windows: 'a*'
   $

Just for the  unlikely case  that somebody out there  really does not at
all care about Windoze ... :-)

Sincerely,
  Rainer
