this sort of quoting and escaping. Butter use

Huh? This looks very wrong. What are the extra quotes needed for? If they 
are really needed, isn't this a bug in git-rebase--interactive.sh?


You fix whitespace...


... and you break it. More of these follow. Don't do that, it makes patch 
review unnecessarily hard.

I question the usefulness of this patch. Why only fix breakage due to spaces 
in the path? What about single-quotes, double-quotes? IMHO, it's not too 
much of a burden for developers to require "sane" build directory paths.
