Subject: Why call-process removes '{' and '}' chars from arguments???
Date: Wed, 02 Jun 2010 23:40:46 +0300	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <hu6fkl$h98$1@dough.gmane.org> (raw)

I use Emacs 23.2 under Windows.

(call-process
    "echo.exe"
    nil (get-buffer "*Messages*") nil
    "--bla"   "{rev}"   "}}}xxx{1}xxx{2}xxx{{{" )

put in Message buffer

   "--bla rev }}}xxx1xxx2xxx"

so remove occurrences of "{" and "}". Why???

This reproduced in Emacs 21.4, 22.3, 23.2
with "runemacs -q" ever cmdproxy.exe removed.

Emacs 32.2 uses "hg --template {rev} file-name" for Mercurial
in VC mode and so fail properly check file revision.

-- 
Best regards!
