Within the next 6 months C git clients will begin asking remote servers for 'git $command' rather than 'git-$command' when using the SSH transport. This change is to allow the C git programs to be removed from the user's $PATH, leaving only the git wrapper binary.

For the first 6 months after C git 1.6.0 gets released clients will continue to ask for 'git-$command' but users may change that behavior by specifically asking for 'git $command' in remote.$name.uploadpack or remote.$name.receivepack. Later clients (including jgit) will change to ask for 'git $command' by default.

If we are asking for 'git $command' we cannot quote this as a single command with a space in the path. We split on the whitespace and quote both sides (if necessary) to protect the strings from the shell.
