TortoiseGitMerge and filenames with spaces - The TortoiseGit team renamed TortoiseMerge.exe to TortoiseGitMerge.exe (starting with 1.8.0) in order to make clear that this one has special support for git, (uses spaces as cli parameter key-value separators) and prevent confusion with the TortoiseSVN TortoiseMerge version. - The tortoisemerge mergetool does not work with filenames which have a space in it. Fixing this required changes in git and also in TortoiseGitMerge; see https://github.com/msysgit/msysgit/issues/57.
