Template fragments in file name:

  $ hg export -v -o '{node|shortest}.patch' tip
  exporting patch:
  197e.patch

Backslash should be preserved because it is a directory separator on Windows:

  $ mkdir out
  $ hg export -v -o 'out\{node|shortest}.patch' tip
  exporting patch:
  out\197e.patch

Still backslash is taken as an escape character in inner template strings:

  $ hg export -v -o '{"out\{foo}.patch"}' tip
  exporting patch:
  out{foo}.patch

Invalid pattern in file name:

  $ hg export -o '%x.patch' tip
