Tony,

I upgraded to 2.5.01.1927 and looks like I'm mostly running properly, 
except for the $USER field that is getting passed in loginfo & taginfo. 
  With the new escaping necessary, my usernames are loosing the \ in 
them (e.g. mydomain\username comes in as mydomainusername).  I thought 
this was addressed before, but I can't remember for sure and it's 
obviously here now (and I've been extremely busy with other stuff lately).

The effect of this is that the usernames can't be properly matched in 
the user file with Bo's cvsMailer application, unless I put entries in 
there without the \... but then I still need the ones with the \ so it 
will match up with the usernames that I put on the command line.

Is there another variable I should use (e.g. $USERESC) or is this a 
problem overall with the new escaping?

loginfo:
DEFAULT cmd /C echo I am mydomain\\myuser, but you think I am $USER

output when committing:
I am mydomain\myuser, but you think I am mydomainmyuser


Regards,
