  Okay, given that fast-import uses quote_c_style, I believe this is the
same but that the one that was reported already. I've read the full
`git diff 4bf53833dbca666f61b5177977e96d453527db20.. -- fast-import.c`
and nothing alarming shows up.

  Please try to apply:
http://git.madism.org/?p=git.git;a=commit;h=7406e83342cd445ac38c1753c5fce75377737e2f

  And see if that fixes the issue for you. Else a bisection would be
much appreciated. Thanks.
