Hi,

I'm trying to do a cg-admin-setuprepo directory, and I'm getting an error:

bash: line 12: syntax error near unexpected token `&&' bash: line 12: `[[ --ee "/home/gateley/git/firewall.git"" ]] &&&& ddiiee "/home/gateley/git/firewall.gitt aallrreeaaddyy eexxiisstts""'

Looking at the source, the duplicated character problems happen here:

# Careful here, no cg-Xlib functions! Also, mind that the variables # are substituted _before_ executing the script, not as we go. Which # is somewhat unfortunate in case the user passed us a path containing # quotes or backslashes, but only sick people do that and they receive # what they deserve. ;-) _git="$uri" cat <<_SCRIPT_EOF_ | $shell $shellarg

die() { echo "$*" >&2; exit 1; }

The "$*" is where the doubled characters begin. I'm not enough of a shell programmer to know what's happening. Any ideas?

Thanks and please cc me on replies - I'm not on the mailing list yet...
