Subject: Spurious warnings about MS-DOS paths
Date: Thu, 14 Apr 2011 09:09:00 -0000 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <4DA66596.3000107@ece.cmu.edu> (raw)
Hi all,
A recent cygwin update has started spewing warnings such as the
following when I do tab completion on a path containing spaces:
> $ cd ~/Home/Documents/Pcygwin warning:
> MS-DOS style path detected: ~/Home/Documents/PC\ reviews\ 2011
> Preferred POSIX equivalent is: ~/Home/Documents/PC/ reviews/ 2011
> CYGWIN environment variable option "nodosfilewarning" turns off this
> warning.
> Consult the user's guide for more details about POSIX paths:
> http://cygwin.com/cygwin-ug-net/using.html#using-pathnames
Would it be possible to make the check exclude common character escapes?
Regards,
Ryan
