That is the most annoying error ever. No, I must not! I shall decide for myself what I must and mustn't do! /me opens cmd.exe and uses ren untitled.txt .gitignore

A slightly bigger challenge is a file named CON :)

Or .... , but that one is fairly easy as long as you COPY from the CONsole to a <fileName>. And remember ^Z to save and quit.
