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 a
cd a
hg init b
echo x > b/x
echo '# should print nothing'
hg st
echo '# should print ? b/x'
hg st b/x

hg add b/x

echo '# should print A b/x'
hg st
echo '# should forget b/x'
hg revert --all
echo '# should print nothing'
hg st b
