Nothing special needs to happen.  That would naturally be passed to the
underlying strategy as the equivalent of:

	$ git merge-subtree --path="git-gui git-gui/master"

but now "git-merge" is in C, it does not have to quote nor unquote
explicitly itself.  Unquoting will be done by the shell when you call
"git-merge", and quoting is unneeded when you give each argument as a
separate string in **argv to call execv().
