Describe the bug in handling filenames with funny characters in 'git add -i'

The interactive mode does not work with files whose names contain
characters that need C-quoting.  `core.quotepath` configuration can be
used to work this limitation around to some degree, but backslash,
double-quote and control characters will still have problems.
