I tried that: diff_args = -ubB -I \\\$HeadURL
and still get: err: ...: Failed to retrieve current state of resource: Could not find value for $HeadURL Does anyone knows what kind of code parses this? Is it passed through the shell? How many "levels of quoting" does it go through before reaching "diff" and by which programs?
