2011-01-15 19:47:59 Jelmer Vernooij description bzr diff --diff-options -w (or with =-w, "-w", ="-w") works fine on Ubuntu (producing a diff that ignores whitespace), but on Windows I get === modified file 'src/SConscript' bzr: ERROR [Error 2] The system cannot find the file specified However, the file is there, and Bazaar without diff options works fine. I am seeing this bug on two separate Windows machines, one on XP and one on Vista. bzr diff --diff-options -w (or with =-w, "-w", ="-w") works fine on Ubuntu (producing a diff that ignores whitespace), but on Windows I get === modified file 'src/SConscript' bzr: ERROR [Error 2] The system cannot find the file specified This is happening because "--diff-options" causes bzr to use the external diff tool, which can not be found. Bazaar should print a more sensible error if it can not find diff.exe.
