Ok. That works with Cygwin. MinGW doesn't have mkfifo. I'm happy using Cygwin, but a lot of people are not. And since both monotone and DVC can otherwise live with MinGW, I don't think we can require Cygwin just for this. I have not dug into the xmtn code enough to understand why it uses automate stdio sessions instead of single automate commands. Can you explain? -- -- Stephe _______________________________________________ Dvc-dev mailing list [email protected] https://mail.gna.org/listinfo/dvc-dev
