name/file.txt is not a valid attribute name: .git/info/attributes:1
That's because spaces are not allowed in paths there.
echo "dir?name/file.txt -text" >.git/info/attributes
may be an easy workaround for now.

Maybe bring back [1] (cquoting paths) and optionally optionally with
backslash escaping? The conclusion at the end of that thread seems to
be "ok, we may break rare setups, we just need to be upfront about
it". Another option is the pathspec way: match quotes literally as
well.

Thanks, I'll use the workaround,
