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

mkdir a
cd a
hg init
echo foo > b
hg add b
hg ci -m "b" -d "1000000 0"

chmod -w .hg/store

cd ..

hg clone a b

chmod +w a/.hg/store # let test clean up

cd b
hg verify
