(shell-quote-argument "foo^") => "\"foo^\"" Also OK. (shell-quote-argument "foo^!") => "^\"foo^^^!^\"" This is definitely NOT okay. This problem gets in the way when invoking Git from Emacs, where "abcdef^!" has special meaning. I'd prefer shell-quote-argument not to handle the tricky issue of "^" at all on MS-Windows. It is basically impossible to get that right, especially if the command invoked with the quoted string is a batch file, or a batch file that calls another batch file, because each invocation of a batch file removes one level of "^" quoting, and there's nothing Emacs can do with this.
