When looking to fix this bug, I noticed in the patch code, that internal spaces (in the file name) are only allowed it the filename and date are separated by a \t (tab)
So by changing the patch file into: --- a/foo bar/file.txt\t +++ b/foo bar/file.txt\t <rest of patch file> (where \t is the actual tab) fixes my problem. As the code explicitly tells about the tab, I suppose this bug/problem will not be fixed...
