Module quote_path 

C-style path quoting compatible with Git’s quote.c / core.quotepath.

Git quotes pathnames for human-facing output (ls-files, diff --name-only, ls-tree --name-only) using a byte lookup table and optional full octal escaping for non-ASCII bytes when quote_path_fully is set (core.quotepath, default true).

Functions

format_diff_path_with_prefix

Format one side of a diff --git / --- / +++ line: either prefix/path or "prefix<escaped-path>" when Git would C-quote the path (see t3300-funny-names).

quote_c_style

Quote path in Git C style when needed, matching quote_c_style + core.quotepath.

quote_path_for_tree_listing

Quote for ls-tree default output: same as quote_c_style, but paths containing , are always wrapped in quotes (Git quote_path with ls_tree mode).
