- Subject: Spurious warnings about MS-DOS paths
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
