git: quote filenames at remind_to_track#3315

I remember windows cmdline being weird about single-quotes and having to use double-quotes. Also IIRC windows cmd always does completion with double-quotes. Searching around (e.g. https://ss64.com/nt/syntax-esc.html) I also see double quotes used and not single-quotes. Let's switch to double-quotes too, it will be compatible with both win and *nix.

well *nix will shell-expand things in double quotes:
$ export foo=bar
$ echo spam > \$foo
$ cat "$foo" # double quotes :(
cat: bar: No such file or directoryThere was a problem hiding this comment.
Also @efiop this PR uses shlex.quote which avoids this

@casperdcl Yep, there is also mslex which properly quotes things for windows, but it doesn't have a conda package. I'm wondering if it is easier to just make dvc automatically git add things at this point. Easier for both us on implementation and for users in terms of UX.

yes not sure if I've mentioned this somewhere before but simply adding --git to any dvc command to auto-exec the obvious would be nice

Merging as is, we'll see about mslex in the future, for now this will cover 90% (or more) of use cases. |
