well because then one of your space could have been that, and the shell
doesn't consider non breakable space as .. breakable, hence you can read
something where you believe there is (n+1) arguments but the shell (and
git) see only n.
It often yields errors really hard to grasp like the dreaded:
$ ls | grep
zsh: command not found: grep
notice the ^
sorry then I don't really know what happened...
