Description

I build a (230) svn client on windows (MSVC). Because I don't have all db3
lib/include files I wanted to build a client that can only access remote
repositories (note that the dsps are not up to date atm - need to add 'copy'
client sources in several workspaces).

Unfortunately, the client fails to be able to diff:

apr_error: #22623, src_err 0 : <The filename, directory name, or volume label
syntax is incorrect.
  run_cmd_in_directory: error starting c:\progra~1\cygnus\cygwin\bin\diff.exe
process


I experimented with CreateProcessW in threadproc\win32\proc.c (called from
apr_proc_create and if I pass NULL as first parameter - instead of wprg - I get
a diff of one file and a stack error after that first file). Can't find anything
else.
