"git config core.quotepath no"?

I didn't have the 'core.quotepath' value set. 'git config core.quotepath no'
changed the behavior to no quoting.

So it looks like the default value of 'core.quotepath' is incorrect: it
should be based on terminal capabilities.

This are 2 different things.
If you are in a project where only ASCII names are allowed (for whatever reason),
you may want `git config core.quotepath no`, regardless what the terminal can do.

(Beside that, are ther terminals that don't handle UTF-8 these days?)

Any, if you prefer UTF-8 as a default,

git config --global core.quotepath yes

is your friend (like mine)
