You are right, but this is not meant to dequote arbitrary shell quoted paths. It specifically is for unwrapping what sq_quote() produced, and refuses to proceed if you feed some shell-valid but not sq_quote() produced string. The reason is because it is part of the git-shell "login shell" -- the input validation is enforced there.

And the reason it lives next to quote.c::sq_quote() is that you would hopefully notice sq_dequote() needs matching changes when you ever update sq_quote.
