[09:38] <throstur> what's the proper way to escape " inside comments in bzr commits?
[09:39] <throstur> is it just a standard '\'? bzr commit -m "did \"this\" thing"
[09:46] <vila> throstur: it depends on your shell, bzr doesn't care, it only receives a string without the quotes
[09:59] <throstur> thanks vila, I'll play it safe and sanitize by replacing double quotes with singles then
[10:00] <vila> throstur: right, I do the same when I face the issue ;)
[10:00] <throstur> :)
[10:41] <fullermd_> You can probably use 'echo' for quick tests.
[10:45] <throstur> fullermd_: I don't know anything about the shell of the invoker
[10:46] <throstur> (I'm integrating bzr command lines into another tool)
[10:47] <fullermd_> Well, I'd expect that tool to be exec'ing bzr directly, rather than via a shell ('cuz that's Stupid And Evil), so you wouldn't really have any quoting worries anyway.
[10:47] <fullermd_> As an alternate, does -F take '-' and read from stdin?  And if not, why the heck not?
[10:48] <fullermd_> If you're going through a shell from arbirary input, you're gonna have all sorts of escaping problems.
