diff3 bug?

[Sokolov_Alexander]

Hello,

 

>From my point of view diff3 doesn't work properly under windows. At
least from 2.8.7 version.

 

1. It fails if I specify option like "--diff-program C:\Temp\diff.exe",
diff.exe exists in C:\Temp

 

2. If file name contains signs like "(" diff3 also fails.

 

3. diff and diff3 exists in PATH - in c:\usr\local\wbin

pwd = c:\temp

 

c:\temp\test contains 3 files: 1, 2 and 3

 

diff3 test\1 test\2 test\3 fails:

diff: 'test\2': No such file or directory

diff: 'test\3': No such file or directory

diff3.exe: subsidiary program `diff' failed

 

Regards,

Alexander
