Ick. I hope you aren't parsing the output of "git commit"; it's not guaranteed to be stable.

But if you are parsing "diff", then yes, filenames with high-bit characters (or special characters like tab or double-quote) may be quoted C-style, and you should be unquoting them. Or, as Matthieu suggested, use "-z" to get a NUL-terminated, non-quoted version.
