This particular scenario was fixed:

While you can be reasonably certain that not all code paths of all commands properly support white space in file names yet, every failure case can be reported as a bug and will be fixed. For example, such a bug was recently fixed in the mktemp compatibility script:

Package: quilt
Version: 0.44-6
Severity: normal

I tried to edit a file with a space in the name, but it didn't work. Looks like quilt has some quoting issues in some parts of the code.

<in an existing quiltified package>
$ quilt new foobar.patch
Patch foobar.patch is now on top
$ quilt edit 'foo bar.txt'
<nano launched, empty file saved>
File foo added to patch foobar.patch
File bar.txt added to patch foobar.patch
$ ls -l | egrep '(foo|bar)'
-rw-r--r--  1 pabs pabs    0 2006-05-20 14:19 foo bar.txt

I still have this with quilt 0.45-6.
