Hello,

I've got a nice project, where I am tracking both binary files and filenames with spaces. So, I've noticed two small cosmetic bugs:

1) When pulling an updated binary files, I guess it still tries to 
   print this update summary by making and processing patches, and so
   gives this error:
       Updating from ab1c4033ba98c043e13da3446e7f244ac7f79942 to
       c164231f6b59fd80171e95f31d762a80d884c708.
       Fast forward
       fatal: patch with only garbage at line 3249
2) When there are spaces in filenames, gitk only shows the first part of
   the name in the filelist at the buttom right.
Regards,
Peter
