What
Listing a git tree now runs with core.quotePath=true and decodes the quoting byte-exactly, including octal and C escapes, so files whose names are not valid UTF-8 come through intact instead of corrupting the recomputed tree.
Details
Replaces splitting the raw output on NUL bytes.
The staged-blob check now reports "old_git" when it sees a non-regular file mode on git older than 2.32, instead of failing silently. The version test is major > 2, or major 2 with minor 32 or above.
Evidence
core.quotePath=true
Strings lifted out of the shipped bundle, so the claim above can be checked against them.
