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.

I value that.

I just wanted to point out what my observations are and too I don't want
to see that windows stuff (what is the minority in this case) will get
more attention or more priority as stuff on linux (which pretty much is
the majority, I believe). Don't get me wrong, I see them both as
important.

And even on windows there are pathes with colon in it. (read c:\...,
d:\...)
