Settings should correctly deal with backslashes (windows path separators) in entered remote URLs

By robert.pol... on March 24, 2011 09:43 (imported from Google Code)


What steps will reproduce the problem?

  1. Go to Settings>Git>Remote
  2. Create a new remote by pasting an URL with backslashes like
    \somebox\path\to\repo.git
    or
    D:\path\to\repo.git

What is the expected output?
The remotes should be usable.

What do you see instead?
Errors when the remote is used.
Currently, they have to be manually changed to forward slashes.
The following format works:
//somebox/path/to/repo.git
or
D:/path/to/repo.git

What version of the product are you using? On what operating system?
TortoiseGit 1.6.5.0 on Windows XP
