Separating the escaped characters into two classes (mandatory LF and BackSlash, and others) is probably a good idea to clarify the description.

Would it make a lot of damage to existing lines in this file if we just say "do not align with extra spaces in between strings"? If so, that is a good reason to keep doing things this way, but if I recall correctly, these test_path_eol/space_success are what this series added to the file, so if we stop such alignment from the get-go, it may be alright. > +test_path_eol_success 'octal escapes' '"\150\151\056\143"' 'hi.c' > > # > # Valid paths before a space: filecopy (source) and filerename (source). > @@ -3256,8 +3257,9 @@ test_path_space_success () { > ' > } > > -test_path_space_success 'quoted spaces' '" hello world.c "' ' hello world.c ' > -test_path_space_success 'no unquoted spaces' 'hello_world.c' 'hello_world.c' > +test_path_space_success 'quoted spaces' '" hello world.c "' ' hello world.c ' > +test_path_space_success 'no unquoted spaces' 'hello_world.c' 'hello_world.c' > +test_path_space_success 'octal escapes' '"\150\151\056\143"' 'hi.c' > > # > # Test a single commit change with an invalid path.
