although this is all true, in the context of my comment needsquote() in libfmt 
is more relevant.

the rc shell has a well defined quoting convention, but this is not shared by 
awk or sed. Thus tosplit the fields in du's output you need something that 
understands this convention, like the shell itself.

I'm no help here, but one of the Harvey guys (pre-Harvey) apparently
built git for Plan 9. Unfortunately, only the 386 binaries were made
available, no source code. I think this may just be because the
repository I found was not the source repository. Anyway:

The git binary seems to run. I'm not sure if it works.

As an historical note the space character was once a frog. Rob told me that
he removed it from isfrog just to see if this broke anything. It didn't.
