general-concepts/tree: Document current practice for distfile names. |

|
| 10 |
At the time of writing, all distfiles referenced from the Gentoo |
| 11 |
repository are using only ASCII alphanumeric plus +-.@[]_~ special |
| 12 |
characters. If all known overlays are included, characters %&();=? |
| 13 |
occur in addition. |

+Naming rules for distfiles are more lenient, but for interoperability their |
| 29 |
+filenames are restricted to the printable ASCII range excluding SPACE, i.e., |
