Yeah, I picked it arbitrarily as the common quoting character, but I
agree it probably makes backwards compatibility (and general usability
when you have to double-backslash each instance) pretty gross on
Windows.

Well, I don't know of many people using the original git on windows.
Most of them using some graphical third-party tools.

I laid out options for addressing the problem elsewhere, but I want to
make clear that this line of reasoning is not likely to get any traction
here. Git for Windows is a non-trivial part of the user base, and we do
care about avoiding regressions there.
