See PHI294. The behavior of Git and Mercurial differs when applying patches like this:
```lang=diff
diff --git a/X Y.txt b/X Y.txt
new file mode 100644
--- /dev/null
+++ b/X Y.txt
@@ -0,0 +1 @@
+quack
```
Git creates a file named `X Y.txt`.
Mercurial creates a filed named `X`.
So this is something Mercurial could perhaps improve on. However, Git can't generate this diff itself, so this is our fault (see also T13023).
Instead, Git generates //this// line:
> +++ b/I Love Spaces.txt!!\t!!
That is, the filename is terminated with spaces. This only happens //sometimes//. We need to:
- Figure out what the rule for adding a tab is.
- Add those tabs ourselves.
- Probably get some test coverage.
- Maybe file a bug with Mercurial; this isn't really a //bug// and definitely isn't very important, but maybe worth a mention. It seems reasonable to imagine that semantic trailing tabs might sometimes lead to confusing behavior.
I wasn't able to find any existing similar issues in the Mercurial bugtracker by searching for `spaces`, `tab`, or `import`.

// Original Description //
In a Mercurial repository, I got a differential revision with "Logo A.svg" and "Logo B.svg".
When we try `arc patch D...`, we have the following message:
```
Patch Failed!
Exception

STDOUT
