Fossil

Problem only exists (for me) in Cygwin on Windows.

I have vi installed in Cygwin, and `which' reports it to be:

<verbatim>
$ which vi
/usr/bin/vi
</verbatim>

So, I manually set my fossil editor, using `fossil set editor /usr/bin/vi'.

When I checkin, I get:

<verbatim>
$ fossil.exe ci
Autosync:  http://sentry:8080/
                Bytes      Cards  Artifacts     Deltas
Send:              87          1          0          0
40The system cannot find the path specified.
Received:        1794         40          0          0
/usr/bin/vi "C:/cygwin/home/User1/src/ci-comment-A97A91FD685A.txt"
C:\cygwin\bin\fossil.exe: editor aborted
</verbatim>

The next to the last line seems to be the command that is `fork()'ed?  If I copy and paste that line in, `vi' is launched with the normal checkin file, ("# Enter comments on this commit.  Lines beginning with # are ignored"... etc)

If I `fossil set editor notepad', notepad opens the file correctly.

If I `fossil.exe set editor "C:\\Program\\ Files\\Vim\\vim70\\gvim.exe"', I get:

<verbatim>
$ fossil.exe ci
Autosync:  http://sentry:8080/
                Bytes      Cards  Artifacts     Deltas

40'C:\Program\' is not recognized as an internal or external command,

C:\cygwin\bin\fossil.exe: editor aborted
</verbatim>

(I also tried with every combination of forward- and back-slashes, and quoting of the space character, with similar results.)
