I suspect this is because single quotes don't work on Windows. I was able to run the following without issue or reported error:

git commit -m "Import opscode-cookbooks/iis version 6470bd034670a2dbd341c8907436d4500fa9c82e"

I just realized this is probably an upstream issue.

@kenny-evitt this tool is outdated and no longer developed. You should look at using berkshelf http://berkshelf.com/

@bcg62 thanks!

@bcg62 you might want to consider disabling issues on this repo to indicate that it's no longer active.

It's not mine or I would. I went down this same path years ago and eneded up watching it so I notice emails when people interact with the repo.

@bcg62 ahh; thanks for the help anyways.
