still contains rather disturbing information, that diffutils are
incapable working with space in filenames/dirnames. I was just
deciding to stop using quilt because of that information, when I
was told clearly, that just the documentation is obsolete. Could
somebody fix that page, please?

Thank you for reporting that. Here's the current text:

When a file name contains an unusual character like a newline or white
space, =E2=80=98diff -r=E2=80=99 generates a patch that =E2=80=98patch=E2=
=80=99 cannot parse.  The
problem is with format of =E2=80=98diff=E2=80=99 output, not just with =E2=
=80=98patch=E2=80=99, because
with odd enough file names one can cause =E2=80=98diff=E2=80=99 to generate=
 a patch that
is syntactically correct but patches the wrong files.  The format of
=E2=80=98diff=E2=80=99 output should be extended to handle all possible fil=
e names.

GNU diff's format now accommodates file names containing unusual
characters, GNU patch still fails to parse the resulting diff. Here's
a small demo:
This shows that the output format of diff -u **does** work with a
newline-afflicted file name:

$ f=3D$'a\na'; echo > "$f"; :>b; diff -u "$f" b
--- "a\na"      2025-01-05 09:32:36.678894920 -0800
+++ b   2025-01-05 09:32:36.678894920 -0800
@@ -1 +0,0 @@
-

Even "diff -r" encodes the unusually-named file:

$ mkdir -p 1 2; a=3D$'a\na'; echo > "1/$a"; :>"2/$a"; diff -r 1 2
diff -r "1/a\na" "2/a\na"
1d0
<

However, even the latest upstream version of GNU patch
(v2.7.6-202-g5bac274) cannot deal such an encoded file name:

$ f=3D$'a\na'; echo > "$f"; :>b; diff -u "$f" b |patch -R
patch: **** quoted string "a\n..." contains newline

So at the very least, I'll adjust the documentation to reflect the above.
Hoping that I can also soon say that upstream GNU patch handles these
encoded names.

https://www.gnu.org/software/diffutils/manual/html_node/Unusual-File-Names.=
html#Unusual%20File%20Names
still contains rather disturbing information, that diffutils are
incapable working with space in filenames/dirnames. I was just
deciding to stop using quilt because of that information, when I
was told clearly, that just the documentation is obsolete. Could
somebody fix that page, please?

Thank you,

And religious texts are a bit like software standards, the

I would like just to emphasize that there are two distinct cases:
yes, filenames with $'\n' or $'\t' are really weird and unusual,
but filenames with a space are rather common. Even normal cpython
had (until recently: they apparently capitulated and replaced
spaces with underscores) directory
https://github.com/python/cpython/tree/3.9/Misc/NEWS.d/next/Core%20and%20Bu=
iltins,
which is part of every commit to the =E2=80=9CCore and Builtins=E2=80=9D
component of the Python interpreter.

So many time, the attitude of my heart is: =E2=80=9CGod, just tell us
what to do so we can do it=E2=80=A6without you.=E2=80=9D Independently.
