I think this is more a general assertion which is not checked in
inventory. We disallow a couple of chars in path names, amongst them
slashes and backslashes because this would make problems on some
platforms. But you're right of course, mtn automate inventory should
gracefully handle these (unknown) files and probably introduce a new
"invalid" status flag for them to make sure they can't be added to the
repository.
