I figured out what is wrong. I am on Windows 7 (with cygwin) where
shell-quote-argument (defined in emacs' subr.el) seems to be broken,
specifically it insists on escaping colons (as one of non-POSIX filename
characters), so, for instance path to one of my files c:/Users/alex/org/
gtd.org becomes c\\:/Users/alex/org/gtd.org.
The result of that is org-mobile-copy-agenda-files which
calls shell-quote-argument while generating command line to produce
checksums, ends up with something like
c:/cygwin/bin/sha1sum c\\:/Users/alex/org/gtd.org
which inevitably fails. I am surprised nobody else with Windows machines
noticed that, could there be anything I am doing wrong?
The quick fix would be to redefine the shell-quote-argument to account for
colons (added colon in the regex on the last line, see below). After that
all my org files get added to checksum.dat and become visible on my Android
phone.
I temporarily put this definition to my cygwin-specific initialization file
but I feel that there should be more elegant solutions:
(defun shell-quote-argument (argument)
"Quote ARGUMENT for passing as argument to an inferior shell."
(if (or (eq system-type 'ms-dos)
(and (eq system-type 'windows-nt) (w32-shell-dos-semantics)))
;; Quote using double quotes, but escape any existing quotes in
;; the argument with backslashes.
(let ((result "")
(start 0)
end)
(if (or (null (string-match "[^\"]" argument))
(< (match-end 0) (length argument)))
(while (string-match "[\"]" argument start)
(setq end (match-beginning 0)
result (concat result (substring argument start end)
"\\" (substring argument end (1+ end)))
start (1+ end))))
(concat "\"" result (substring argument start) "\""))
(if (equal argument "")
"''"
;; Quote everything except POSIX filename characters.
;; This should be safe enough even for really weird shells.
(replace-regexp-in-string "\n" "'\n'"
(replace-regexp-in-string "[^-0-9a-zA-Z_./\n:]" "\\\\\\&"
argument)))))
Regards,
Alex
