Set $IFS to newline, so that $(git diff --name-only ...) output is
split at record boundaries, not inside pathnames?

A quick experiment you can do to convince yourself may be:

-- >8 --
#!/bin/sh

data () {
        echo "a"
        echo "b c" ;# SP in between
        echo "d e " ;# HT and trailing SP
}

show () {
        for i
        do
                echo "<<$i>>"
        done
}

echo ONE
show $(data)

IFS='
'

echo TWO
show $(data)
-- 8< --

On the "git archive" invocation, there may be something that tells
the pathspecs are literal, like '--literal-pathspecs' option, to
avoid metacharacters from being expanded, though.
