git patches: correct handling of filenames with spaces Add a trailing TAB to the "--- filename" lines if there's a space in the file name. This allows patch(1) to work correctly. The same is done for diff --nodates. This was originally suggested by Andrei Vermel, but at the time I thought git was doing something different.

#!/bin/sh

hg init
echo "nothing" > a
hg add a
hg commit -m ancestor -d "1000000 0"
echo "something" > a
hg commit -m branch1 -d "1000000 0"
hg co 0
echo "something else" > a
hg commit -m branch2 -d "1000000 0"
hg merge 1
hg id
cat a
hg status
