A new helper decodes the C-style octal and backslash escape sequences git uses inside those quotes.\n\n**Why**\n\nFilenames containing spaces, quote characters, or non-ASCII bytes are quoted and escaped by git in diff output. Previously these could fail to parse correctly; now they're read and matched properly.\n\n- Area: Elsewhere\n- Tier: You'll notice\n- Useful: 2\/5\n- Signal: 1\/5"}
