Ambiguity in bash brace syntax because
{/,are valid windows filename charactersAs mentioned in the readme,
{,}and,are valid characters in file paths in windows, so there might exist files with the exact path that you input, i.e.C:/source/{readme.md,file2.z}itself is a file name.Current Behaviour (best effort)
In these cases,

rbcpwill try and detect if such a file exists and ask for confirmation if you still want to continue.This can be solved by using a different syntax, but that would be different from the bash syntax - which I am not in favour of.
