The problem is the newline in the string, since
git-ls-files --others --directory $excl ${excl_info:+"$excl_info"} -- "$@" |
while read -r file; do
is using newline as a delimiter. Any file with a newline would mess this up.
Not being a shell programming expert, is there a way we could use -z and xargs
-0 here instead?
