According to my quick tests this seems to work. You may want to squash
this patch in:

diff --git i/Documentation/git-add.txt w/Documentation/git-add.txt
index 7c129cb..6c79a87 100644
--- i/Documentation/git-add.txt

   This lets you review what will be committed (i.e. between
   HEAD and index).

-The interactive mode does not work with files whose names contain

-used to work this limitation around to some degree, but backslash,
-double-quote and control characters will still have problems.
