it's too bad because the colon isn't any problem for the revision API, it's just used by the command interface. colon could be supported if the command interface had a function that parsed for quoted revision names. but then we'd probably want quotes added to the illegal chars also

Can you explain

it's just used by the command interface.

Yeah, and it's causing issue mentioned in ticket, is there better way to fix it?

quoted revision

How does quoted revision comes into the picture?

[zzzeek]

the colon is only parsed inside of command.py, it's not used in revision.py

we could also say that we would support this syntax:

alembic upgrade --sql "some:rev":ae5c

however, there's no compelling reason for that ...

I think the solution proposed in this PR is likely easier to implement. What do you think mike?

[zzzeek]

it is. can you add a changelog and do we have illegal char tests set up? we should
