[Message part 1 (text/plain, inline)]

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was told clearly, that just the documentation is obsolete.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,

Matěj Cepl

And religious texts are a bit like software standards, the
interpretation is always the tricky and complicated bit.
