Hi,
This patch doesn't actually change the input passed to scp, but rather
alters the way that scp completes on the bash prompt.
For example, say on the remote server I have:
~/Hello Folder One
~/Hello Folder Two
~/Hello Different Three
Typing:
scp -r remote:~/Hell[TAB]
will result, with this patch with:
scp -r remote:~/Hello\\\
Now, in the old system if you then went:
scp -r remote:~/Hello\\\ F[TAB]
Nothing would happen. The \\\ was incorrectly handled when asking for a
directory listing to then parse with sed.
With the patch, the prompt now reads:
scp -r remote:~/Hello\\\ Folder\\\
as would be expected, and you can continue.
Once the line is complete (scp -r remote:~/Hello\\\ Folder\\\ O[TAB] ->
scp -r remote:~/Hello\\\ Folder\\\ One) you can press enter and the scp
action will continue correctly (because the line still uses \\\)
tl;dr: the patch keeps \\\ on the command line, but just parses them
correctly when it tries to get a remote directory listing

bash completion for scp overescapes spaces and does not correctly re-filter
("\\\ " instead of "\ ")
