git_cmd_str does not quote the directory names without this patch.

git_cmd_str is really really bad from a security POV: Where it is
used, command lines are passed to the shell, which (I believe) just
*happen* to open no security holes.  Hence the function should
ultimately go away.  However, let's make the tests work for the
meantime while it's still there.
