Re: [PATCH] fix for interactive merge-callback not supporting spaces in file paths

From: Augie Fackler <durin42_at_gmail.com>
Date: 2007-07-25 18:05:11 CEST

The single quotes aren't actually needed for this patch, that's an
artifact from way back when I isolated the bug. New version included.
The file name we'll be editing in this callback is one of our
tempfiles, so we know it'll have a safe name.

I've started working on the "launch external tool" callback, and I'm
wondering - does svn_path_shell_autoescape DTRT on Windows? With the
external tool callback we're going to have to either duplicate some
files or do some escaping so that things don't break when you work
with files that contain weird characters (spaces, etc) in the name.

Peace,
Augie
