without any quoting and lines are terminated with a NUL (ASCII 0x00)
byte.
-Otherwise, all pathnames will be "C-quoted" if they contain any tab,
-linefeed, double quote, or backslash characters. In C-quoting, these
-characters will be replaced with the corresponding C-style escape
-sequences and the resulting pathname will be double quoted.
+Without the `-z` option, pathnames with "unusual" characters are
+quoted as explained for the configuration variable `core.quotePath`
+(see linkgit:git-config[1]).
