Much thanks. I explain that I have. Cygwin distro have Mercurial package inside. 'cygwin.el' allow incorporate Emacs with Cygwin without any pain. But native Windows Emacs can not run scripts (in Cygwin - these are files without ext with usual UNIX #!/bin/bla-bla first string). To be able invoke it from Emacs I wrote .bat wrappers with same base name for needed scripts like: @echo off python /bin/hg %* With CYGWIN env var set to "nodosfilewarning noglob" and wrapper I can use VC mode for Mersurial/Bazaar repos (without 'nodosfilewarning' script output can be damaged by Cygwin warning messages). That work pretty nice if there are no new line char in passed to .bat file args. As I debug 'log-edit-done' it can pass such command line (through 'process-file' in 'vc-do-command') switches for Mercurial: (apply 'process-file "hg" nil t nil '("commit" "-m" "message\nXXX\nYYY\nZZZ\n")) %* in .bat file not proper work - it strip all chars after first new line occurrence. I think in Windows there are no anything scriptable with "$*" like in POSIX sh. So through .bat wrapper I can not commit multiline message and as list of files for commit goes after -m "message\n" - it also forget pass list of files for commit. So if I commit single file - it commit all modified files in repo. To workaround this I create executable which linked with Cygwin runtime and as in BusyBox to 'execvp' passed base name as command and all args without changes. Cygwin 'execvp' first search for 'prog' then for 'prog.exe' so trick worked! So I switch from simple .bat wrapper to special executable. To enable another Cygwin script 'foo' for Emacs I just copy existing executable: $ cp hg.exe foo.exe Some further info accessed at http://www.mail-archive.com/cygwin@cygwin.com/msg109064.html -- Best regards! -- Problem reports: http://cygwin.com/problems.html FAQ: http://cygwin.com/faq/ Documentation: http://cygwin.com/docs.html Unsubscribe info: http://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple
