The output maybe become confused to recognize if the user accidentally mistook an extra opening space, like:

   $git commit --fixup=" 6d6360b67e99c2fd82d64619c971fdede98ee74b"
   fatal: could not lookup commit  6d6360b67e99c2fd82d64619c971fdede98ee74b
and it will be better if we surround the %s specifier with single quotes.
