Description Anthony Hunter CLA 2013-11-14 12:44:07 EST 
As mentioned in Bug 421507, earlier versions of Orion supported project names like "sbrandys | SB1".

The new simple metadata storage does not have a problem with this project name on Linux.

However, the bar character "|" is a reserved character on Windows and migration fails to handle this project name.

We need to handle for backwards compatibility.

The problem is resolved with commit:
http://git.eclipse.org/c/orion/org.eclipse.orion.server.git/commit/?id=292354537321d402443aca9e98afd3fb2191b8ba

As a workaround on Windows, rather than saving "sbrandys | SB1", the bar is replaced with three dashes.

I also added a JUnit test for project creation with a bar in the name and project rename of a project with a bar in the name.
