Invalid Character

[KCErb]

Hey all,

I tried making an app with a dash in the name time-clock and didn't realize the dash was killing newclear for a while. The error on rake newclear looked like this:

KC:time-clock$ rake newclear

I can see it now, but I first updated ruby motion, then I thought it might be the fatal thing about it not being a git repository because of the warnings:

[warning] To avoid issues you should install `Extras/Android Support Repository`. Open the gui to install it : /Users/KC/.rubymotion-android/sdk/tools/android
[warning] To avoid issues you should install `Extras/Google Repository`. Open the gui to install it : /Users/KC/.rubymotion-android/sdk/tools/android

After installing those I was still getting fatal not a git repo . . . so I created one and then I get

fatal: ambiguous argument 'HEAD': unknown revision or path not in the working tree.
Use '--' to separate paths from revisions, like this:

so I add all and commit it and finally I get

KC:time-clock$ rake newclear

And this one tipped me off that the line before rake aborted! is the issue 😊

I'm telling you all this so that:

1. I can request some kind of error checking / fixing like bluepotion create time-clock renames the app to time_clock or something like that.
2. I can demonstrate the way my brain approached the stack trace in case it's useful in designing the error process.

Thanks for the great gem!
