[Anthill] VSS help needed

Brian,
With the pagelet patch for the quote before the cd, and the UNC path
with space, it was doing this (wrong):
12:09:17:234 [Thread - AnthillBuildDaemon] INFO
com.urbancode.anthill.adapter.ProfileRepositoryAdapter -
Execute:Java13CommandLauncher: Executing 'cmd' with arguments:
'/x/c'
'cd /d C:\java\anthill-1.8.0.264\work\ContinuousBuildExample && set
SSDIR=\\192.168.0.11\SourceSafe\Foo 3.0 && \\192.168.0.11\SourceSafe\Foo
3.0\win32\ss cp $/ContinuousBuildExample -Ybuilds &&
\\192.168.0.11\SourceSafe\Foo'
'3.0\win32\ss get * -Ybuilds -R -I-Y -O- '
Note how the last line starts with '3.0...' when in fact it should be
with the line above. Basically it was chopped.
Note also how the paths to ss do not seem to have "" around them. Ditto
for the value of SSDIR. Contrast that with my "\Documents and Settings"
test case.
Without the pagelet patch and without the space in the UNC path, I now
get this (correct):
'/x/c'
'cd /d C:\java\anthill-1.8.0.264\work\ContinuousBuildExample &&
\\192.168.0.11\SourceSafe\Foo3\win32\ss cp $/ContinuousBuildExample
-Ybuilds && \\192.168.0.11\SourceSafe\Foo3\win32\ss get * -Ybuilds -R
-I-Y -O- '
Ideally you want to try the pagelet fix with an UNC path with space.
Again, unfortunately I can no longer reproduce that.
Anyway, it seems that the quotes around everything (the patch) and
paths with spaces cause side-effects to each other.
