Is bzr.bat on the search path? Or do you have to specify the full path? If bzr.bat is on the search path, we could set the bzr-executable to bzr.bat on windows. > The big problem was after that, I kept getting an error when launching some > bzr-* command.

So your patch converts "\"path/bzr.bat\" \"status\"" to "path/bzr.bat status" Is this correct? > > I hope this can help dvc to get a few more Windows customers :) > Cheers! It would be nice, if dvc runs well on windows. Stefan. _______________________________________________ Xtla-el-dev mailing list [email protected] https://mail.gna.org/listinfo/xtla-el-dev
