Thanks. A suggestion to add some more explanation to the log message follows.

And pathnames that has a double-quote, a backslash, or a control character like a newline or a tab in them.

This patch still does not allow pathnames with characters that do need C-quote, but the code didn't handle them before, so it is not making things worse.
The correct approach to solve the problem for all pathnames may be to use "ls-files -z" and tell the Perl script that reads its output to read NUL separated records by using $/ = "\0".
