I am a Vim user when it comes to editors.
I do not customize it aggressively by endlessly tweaking configuration files, but I do install plugins to extend it.
I use Vundle to manage plugins, and while I was experimenting with various settings recently, BundleInstall started failing and I could no longer install plugins.
When I checked the error log, I saw the following.
[120927 15:08:38] $ git clone --recursive https://github.com/vim-scripts/Wombat.git 'C:/Vim/vimfiles/bundle/Wombat' [120927 15:08:38] > fatal: could not create leading directories of ''C:/Vim/vimfiles/bundle/Wombat'': Invalid argument
The cause was the following setting in _vimrc.
set shellslash
After commenting it out and running the installation again, everything completed successfully.
