Using eval causes problems when the URL contains an appropriately escaped ampersand (\&). Dropping eval from the built-in browser invocation avoids the problem. Helped-by: Jeff King <peff@xxxxxxxx> (test case) Signed-off-by: Chris Packham <judge.packham@xxxxxxxxx> --- The consensus from the last round of discussion [1] seemed to be to remove the eval from the built in browsers but quote custom browser commands appropriately. I've expanded the tests a little. A semi-colon had the same error as the ampersand. A hash was another common character that had meaning in a shell and in URL.
