From cg-tag in 0.16:
(echo $name | egrep -qv '[^a-zA-Z0-9_.@!:-]') || \
die "name contains invalid characters"
WHY? I can see rejecting control characters, but the above will reject
pretty much anything written in a non-English language, which is rude to
say the least...
-hpa
The egrep pattern used by cg-tag is too restrictive. While it will prevent
control characters from being specified as a tag name, it will also reject
nearly anything written in a non-English language, as noted by -hpa
