Subject: Escape character for .gitconfig
Message-ID: <4EEC6A9D.1060005@icefield.yk.ca>

I have an editor path that includes "(" and ")". No matter how I try to 
escape this character, I get either variations on:

C:/Program Files (x86)/Notepad++/notepad++.exe: -c: line 0: syntax error 
near unexpected token `('
C:/Program Files (x86)/Notepad++/notepad++.exe: -c: line 0: `C:/Program 
Files (x86)/Notepad++/notepad++.exe \$@\'
error: There was a problem with the editor 'C:/Program Files 
(x86)/Notepad++/notepad++.exe'.
Please supply the message using either -m or -F option.

or:

fatal: bad config file line 5 in C:\Users\xxx/.gitconfig

As you can see, I'm running git on a Win7 64 machine. Is there any way 
to escape the brackets? Or do I need to reinstall notepad++ on a 
different path?
