You're talking about diff, so I suppose you need (or you mean actually) difftools plugin.

Bad bad shlex.split that suppose it's always working with unix paths.

I suspect some code try to delete temporary file/directory while it's still open by your tool. Something like that. But without looking at .bzr.log it's just a guess. </blockquote><div> Thanks.š I should have known that.š I will get the .bzr.log and post it here. -M š </div></div>
