Re: [PATCH v5 3/3] completion: handle unusual characters for sparse-checkout

> Update the __gitcomp_directories method to de-quote and handle unusual

> to re-use the logic in __git_index_files, this method removed
> subdirectories (e.g. folder1/0/ became folder1/), so instead new custom
> logic was placed directly in the __gitcomp_directories method.
