- The commands that output paths (e.g. 'ls-files',
- 'diff'), when not given the `-z` option, will quote
- "unusual" characters in the pathname by enclosing the
- pathname in a double-quote pair and with backslashes the
- same way strings in C source code are quoted. If this
- variable is set to false, the bytes higher than 0x80 are
- not quoted but output as verbatim. Note that double

+ backslash and control characters are always escaped regardless
