I may be misreading what you wrote, but if you mean that there is a
LF in the pathname, I do not think cat-file --batch is prepared to
handle it; as we can see in builtin/cat-cile.c:
static int batch_objects(struct batch_options *opt)
{
...
while (strbuf_getline(&input, stdin) != EOF) {
if (data.split_on_whitespace) {
...
}
batch_one_object(input.buf, &output, opt, &data);
}
it always treats what strbuf_getline() returns as a single record.
If properly designed, it would have
- supported "-z" to take NUL-delimited input, and
- when "-z" is not in effect, after reading a single line of input,
we would have called quote API to un-cquote the string, so that
we can express LF and other special characters in the pathname.
but those who worked on "cat-file --batch" didn't.
