spaces with TortoiseGitMerge

TortoiseGitMerge, unlike TortoiseMerge, can be told to handle paths with spaces in them by using -option "$FILE" (not -option:"$FILE", which does not work for such paths) syntax. Both do not have a fully posix compatible cli parameter parser, however, TortoiseGitMerge was modified in order to handle filenames with spaces correctly. The "-key value" form was choosen because this way no escaping for quotes within quotes is necessary; see https://github.com/msysgit/msysgit/issues/57
