Well that sounds reasonable. It's nice to know that the underlying cause is an issue w/ Python <-> Windows communication, and I certainly don't think this is something worth any effort trying to work around.
I guess it may eventually get fixed if the Python/Windows communications gets fixed, or as you said if mercurial changes the Python API's they're using. I wasn't sure if there was some minor escaping/unescaping that was supposed to happen that wasn't because it hadn't been noticed before, so I thought it was worth mentioning. Thanks again for the info, Mike
