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 123 > a
hg add a
hg commit -m "a" -u a -d "1000000 0"

cd ..
mkdir b
cd b
hg init
echo 321 > b
hg add b
hg commit -m "b" -u b -d "1000000 0"

hg pull ../a
hg pull -f ../a
hg heads
