There was a problem hiding this comment.
Assignments like a=$b do not need any quotation, since bash does respect any white spaces when expanding the variable in assignments.
This reduces the patch to quoted arguments which is required, of course.
I am wondering how backslashes in a directory are avoided or treated. This additional issue should be dealt with if reported upstream I believe.
