Hi Johannes,

thanks for your answer, but unfortunately it doesn’t help.

Nope. This command sequence doesn’t work for me: the same error is returned:

    # git show 'HEAD:bra[ckets].txt'
    fatal: ambiguous argument 'HEAD:bra[ckets].txt': both revision and filename

As I mentioned at the end of my original message, escaping doesn't help either. 
`git add` works fine both with and without escape. It was auto-completed by 
bash completion, and I just forgot to remove the backslashes before pasting the 
code here. At any case, escaping doesn’t work with `git show`.--
