  Thanks Dan, I'm passing this one on to Matt, the scm guy :)

  For textmate commands, I'm passing the commandlines through to the runnables plugin, which has handling for stuff like this already. Maybe this should be done by the SCM plugins as well. Seems dirty to replicate such logic across town.

  Can anyone verify this problem still exists? I remember doing something along these lines already.

  @Tim the issue with doing things that way is that the code he's talking about is inside ruby-git, an external library. We don't really want to make the two codebases codependant.

  I can confirm that this still fails on Redcar 0.10 ( i386-mingw32 ) on windows, and adding Dan's changes resolves the issue. I can also confirm that given the implementation of ruby-git, Dan's fix is probably the smallest fix that can be made (aside from OS-sniffing to do it conditionally). The main problem is that tons of calls to command_lines() have single quoted strings. Fixing all of them with a gsub after they've been flattened is much simpler than fixing every single string.

  It also seems that ruby-git is no longer maintained (the author has moved to grit), so one of two things should be ok:
  1. Change ruby-git code - the code is not expected to change
  2. redcar moves to grit, where hopefully this problem doesn't exist.

  1. We're already using a fork of ruby-git
     
  2. When I first evaluated different libraries for use with redcar, I did try out Grit and found it significantly more buggy than ruby-git. That said, it's probably improved in the last couple months and it's more or less a drop-in replacement if someone wants to try that

  In the meantime, I'll double-check what happened with my updates, because I'm sure I fixed this one already, I may not have bumped the version that redcar vendors in though properly.

  At this point I need two things.

  1. Someone on Windows, can you test the latest master at https://github.com/mscharley/redcar/ please?
     
  2. Someone not on Windows, can you please test the same? Specifically, files with quotes, single and double, in the name. I seem to recall there being issues with using double quotes on non-Windows systems. Windows requires them though, so lets try...

  I started trying #1 out, but am currently failing at the submodule update step with this error:

  fatal: reference is not a tree: 934217c3822d54e9a2c349af6ed045f2cea340b5
  Unable to checkout '934217c3822d54e9a2c349af6ed045f2cea340b5' in submodule path
  'plugins/scm_git/vendor/ruby-git'

  i'm not a git expert so i dont know if this is something I can fix by myself, but if not, could you take a look?

  Sorry for not getting to this sooner, it totally slipped my mind.

  You should be able to do a git submodule update to fix this now.

  ok got the submodule update to work and install redcar, but it still does not work. More specifically:

  1. rt clicking on the project directory shows the option to switch branches. a new branch gets created, but switching back to master fails with the following error in a dialog:
     git checkout ''"'"'test'"'"'' 2>&1:error: pathspec '''''test''''' did not match any file(s) known to git.
     this is followed by another dialog with the same text minus all the extra quotes, but same effect.

  2. The uncommitted changes tree still doesnt show the changes, and seems to show some mis-parsed messages from the internal git output.see attachment for a screenshot.

  I tried reapplying Daniel's "fix" and now that doesnt work either. not sure if i'm making the change in the right place. Am I right in assuming that the source install replaces the $ruby_home/gems/redcar-xx/plugins/scm_git/ version of lib.rb?

  In hindsight, I'm guessing your fixes and Dan's are not complimentary. Last question withdrawn.
