Argh, my mistake about top posting again. My email client does not help me
with this by default and I have to manually construct quoting of previous
responses and delete what shouldn't be there (and missed it again). If there's
any way for someone to delete my previous message from the archive,

You are correct about the cmd.exe interpretation, so my test cases were
buggy, but Go invokes other executables using CreateProcess directly and
is not subject to the additional set of command line processing rules that

The specific example I gave is unambiguous and is parsed correctly by
CommandLineToArgvW, so if the goal

My mistake - I'm very aware of the quoting rules, yet in my

I know it's insanity, but it's insanity that almost all Windows programs
inherit and
implement consistently enough because they use standard

The standard rules for Microsoft command line processing are documented here:
https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/previous-versions/17w5ykft(v=vs.85)
The Cygwin code for command line processing is in dcrt0.cc, function build_argv.
The behaviors do not match. For instance, given a test.sh

After this change (commit b0c033bf3fae810b9e5a5c69f17bd4de63725691), the Git

features because the post-install step for configuring the /dev directory does
