1. Bash escapes it so it actually becomes 4 characters.
   This should not be takeing lightly -- people bitched about '%' in
   patch names and they were all changed because its a magic charter for
   Perforce and Perforce users could be bothered to escape it.

2. With the file name lenths of some of our patches (greater than 80
   chars) two characters, when one will do, is annoying.

 '%' and '+' also works for me. :-)
