fast-import: document C-style escapes for paths

index 1882758b8a..c6082c3b49 100644 --- a/Documentation/git-fast-import.txt +++ b/Documentation/git-fast-import.txt @@ -643,7 +643,11 @@ When a `<path>` starts with a double quote (`"`), it is a C-style quoted string, where the complete filename is enclosed in a pair of double quotes and escape sequences are used. Certain characters must be escaped by preceding them with a backslash: `LF` is written as `\n`, backslash -as `\\`, and double quote as `\"`. All filenames can be represented as +as `\\`, and double quote as `\"`. Some characters may optionally be +written with escape sequences: `\a` for bell, `\b` for backspace, `\f` +for form feed, `\n` for line feed, `\r` for carriage return, `\t` for +horizontal tab, and `\v` for vertical tab. Any byte can be written with +3-digit octal codes (e.g., `\033`). All filenames can be represented as quoted strings. A `<path>` must use UNIX-style directory separators (forward slash `/`)
