From cfc4ba33e3cc95a30cb808eec1b54b52450c3bdf Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Teemu Likonen Date: Wed, 2 Apr 2008 20:06:46 +0300 Subject: [PATCH] Describe the bug in handling filenames with funny characters in 'git add -i' The interactive mode does not work with files whose names contain characters that need C-quoting. `core.quotepath` configuration can be used to work this limitation around to some degree, but backslash, double-quote and control characters will still have problems.
