Subject: git format-patch --range-diff accepts non-quoted arguments (shouldn't it be?)
Date: Fri, 8 Oct 2021 16:34:15 +0700	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <c2c5f3b0-dfdb-0f3f-4c64-8f44d3e74a07@gmail.com> (raw)


Hi,

I think it is rather odd that `git format-patch --range-diff` accepts 
<previous> argument without enclosed in quotes, since it is always 
multi-word (separated by space). E.g., below works:

     $ git format-patch <options> --range-diff=main..previous main..HEAD

but below returns nothing:

     $ git format-patch <options> --range-diff="main..previous main..HEAD"

Should the quoted <previous> argument to --range-diff be allowed, and 
forbid the unquoted counterpart?
