Some people seem to create SVN branch names with spaces

-		open(H,"git-rev-parse --verify $parent |");
+		open(H,'-|',"git-rev-parse","--verify",$parent);

I seem to be missing the context, but please describe what
problem this fixes in the commit log message.  I guess some
people use shell metacharacters and/or SP in their branch names
and this is about that problem?

Exactly. Sorry; it seems that the original question hasn't been posted
to the mailing list.
