Jiri Daněk commented on DISPATCH-2281:
--------------------------------------
Viewing this from Linux-only point of view, then this is issue of correct
escaping in the config file, specifically of documenting how to correctly
escape. I am not sure if this is written down anywhere. The current config
format is JSON with (great) many twists (managed by regex transformations).

> The error seems to be the correct behavior. Windows paths will need to be
