They cannot.  OK, they can if you avoid any of the Git code:

  git rev-parse HEAD >".git/refs/heads/ref with space"

but a lot of things downstream may get annoyed by doing this.
Spaces are not permitted in ref names.

I agree.  For an application like bundle creation, $GIT_DIR should be
strictly read-only.  There is no reason for this application to need
to create temporary files, as the bundle can be streamed to stdout
(or optionally to a file supplied by the user on the command line).

Uh, actually it can't.  I thought it could too.  It doesn't.
It can only take a ref name or --not.  I'm actually not sure why
we limited it like that, but we did...  It may be a good idea to
change that restriction to not exist.
