Bug Report: Superfluous Tab Characters

Dear git team,

I have run into a bug where git seems to be adding superfluous tabs to the end of filenames that contain a space. I have attached the output of `git bugreport` for your review. Feel free to have a look https://github.com/trufflesecurity/trufflehog/issues/1060 for additional context.

Thanks.

Regards, Diogo Fernandes

Thank you for filling out a Git bug report! Please answer the following questions to help us understand your issue.

What did you do before the bug happened? (Steps to reproduce your issue)

$ mkdir test $ cd test $ git init $ echo foo > "filename 2" $ git add "filename 2" $ git commit -m "test" $ git log -p | grep "+++" | xxd # 0x09 is a \t character that is being added to a filename with a space

00000000: 2b2b 2b20 622f 6669 6c65 6e61 6d65 2032 +++ b/filename 2 00000010: 090a ..

What did you expect to happen? (Expected behavior)

$ echo "foo" > filename2 4 git add . $ git commit -m "test" $ git log -p | grep "+++" | xxd

00000000: 2b2b 2b20 622f 6669 6c65 6e61 6d65 320a  +++ b/filename2.

What happened instead? (Actual behavior)

A tab character is being appended to filenames.

What's different between what you expected and what actually happened?

A tab character should not be appended to filenames.

Anything else you want to add: No.
