[PATCH v11 01/14] convert: quote filter names in error messages

From

Message-ID
<20161016232038.84951-2-larsxschneider@gmail.com>
In-Reply-To

From: Lars Schneider <larsxschneider@gmail.com>

Git filter driver commands with spaces (e.g. `filter.sh foo`) are hard to read in error messages. Quote them to improve the readability.
