A path containing a space must be quoted when used as an argument to either the copy or rename commands. 6280dfdc3b (fast-export: quote paths in output, 2011-08-05) previously attempted to fix fast-export's quoting by passing all paths through quote_c_style(). However, that function does not consider the space to be a character which requires quoting, so let's special-case the space inside print_path(). This will cause space-containing paths to also be quoted in other commands where such quoting is not strictly necessary, but it does not hurt to do so.

Sorry, not test added. I barely had time to get out this patch. :-(
