Description
If a file contains a space in its name, staging it results in a pathspec error, since the space is not escaped. All other commands work fine. My current workaround is to stage each block of said file individually, since that works.

Research direction
Reproduce the staging failure with a filename containing a space, then trace the CLI's staging command and how it constructs the Git pathspec. Confirm the fix by staging the whole file successfully while preserving the existing behavior for files without spaces.
