Question

Answer 1

A:

Try:

git rm "./\033[A.tex"

That will look in your current directory.

Or try typing ./\033 then pressing tab to autocomplete in some shells.

Answer 2

+1 A:

Does any of the following work?

git rm "\\033[A.tex"
git rm "\*A.tex" (assuming this pattern matches no other files)
git rm "*A.tex" (same assumption)

This command works: git rm "\*A.tex" (assuming this pattern matches no other files).

Answer 3

A:

It will work this way for sure.

git rm \\033\[A.tex

No assumption needed. There is a pattern followed to identify such challenging names(can't find where its documented). But this will work.

EDIT

For more chalenging name

git rm "\"\\033[A.tex\""

I worked on a local git repo, so works here. What OS/shell are you running?

Robert Munteanu 2009-07-31 12:59:30

I use OS X Leopard, Git 1.6.3.3. - Please, see my edit in my question: the filename is more challenging than I first thought.
