I have only enabled this for git-style diffs for now. GNU diff doesn't do filename quoting so far and if it eventually implements a slightly different form of quoting (which I wouldn't recommend), we might be in trouble. > IIRC, this extension to allow funny characters in pathnames was > proposed by and discussed with Paul Eggert (listed as one of GNU > diffutils maintainers at www.gnu.org/software/diffutils/) and git happened > to adopt it earlier than "GNU diff" itself did. Paul and Jim, any thoughts about adding filename quoting to GNU diff anytime soon, or about the format?
