Mercurial tab completion doesn't work with files with spaces

[Stephen Rasku]

If you use tab completion for a file with a space in it the tab completion doesn't escape the spaces or wrap the filename in quotes. This causes the filename to not be recognized.

To reproduce:

$ touch "x y z"
$ hg add x<Tab>y z
x: No such file or directory
y: No such file or directory
z: No such file or directory
$ ls x<Tab>\ y\ z
x y z

Hi Vibhav,

Thanks for your work on this. I just sponsored the upload.

FYI: I did make one small tweak. I removed some of the fields you put in the patch's header. There's no need to include stuff like Build Depends, Section, Uploaders, etc... We try to follow the guidelines laid out in DEP3 for patch headers. See: http://dep.debian.net/deps/dep3/

Thanks again!
