status: Quote paths with spaces in short format

lilyball · gitster · commit dbfdc625a5aa · 2010-11-09T07:35:16.000-08:00
According to the documentation for git-status, in short-format mode, paths with spaces or unprintable characters are quoted. However 28fba29 (Do not quote SP., 2005-10-17) removed the behavior that quotes paths that have spaces but not unprintable characters. Unfortunately this makes the output of `git status --porcelain` non-parseable in certain (rather unusual) edge cases. In the interest of removing ambiguity when parsing the output of `git status --porcelain`, restore the behavior of quoting paths with spaces in git-status's short-format mode.
