Comment 1 Robin Rosenberg CLA 2011-12-09 07:14:05 EST 
Quoting is someting the shell handles. jgit is not a shell so it relies
on the shell that invokes it to parse the argument. CMD.exe does not recognize 
single quotes which is why this fails in cmd, possibly in powershell too, 
but it will work in bash, even on Windows.

JGit should not try to interfere with the shell you are using.
