In POSIX-compatible shells, of which Bash is one example, apostrophes delimit a string—making what's between them a single "word" in the shell's terms,—and ( ... ) start a subshell interpreting the text between as a script to execute in that subshell. If memory serves me right, you—for some reason which is beyond me—expected `echo` to behave as a built-in command of command.com and cmd.exe. If you need Windows batch file syntax in your scripts, execute them using the Windows shell, cmd.exe. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Git for human beings" group.
