git-status(1) says:
If a filename contains whitespace or other nonprintable characters,
that field will be quoted in the manner of a C string literal:
surrounded by ASCII double quote (34) characters, and with interior
special characters backslash-escaped.
Note that that differs from the standard behavior of not handling
spaces, which I expect is due to the need to handle renames
unambiguously. We have some special handling in wt_shortstatus_status,
but not in wt_shortstatus_other.
Patch incoming once the testsuite finishes running on this commit.
