Hi, all

When I use "git cat-file --batch" command, with the form <tree-ish>:path, here path is the working tree in my repository, but it is irregular, such as "法律\(Law\)/民法\(civil\ law$'\n'\)\", this kind of path is unintentionally created.   The process cannot correctly handle this kind of case:

$ git cat-file --batch d071ea971fb93ebc937517736c2a63d64ddbe0d9:法律(Law)/民法(civil law) d071ea971fb93ebc937517736c2a63d64ddbe0d9:法律(Law)/民法(civil law) missing

How can I deal with this case when irregular paths cannot be avoided?
Thanks in advance.
