It's split up into arguments at whitespace unless the whitespace is quoted, just like the shell does. I wrote tcl code to do the splitting and quoting according to the shell rules. So you can, for example, put: --unpacked --since='2 days ago' in there and it will pass two arguments to git-rev-list, the second containing the embedded spaces (but without the single-quotes).
