+/* Help to copy the thing properly quoted for the shell safety.
+ * any single quote is replaced with '\'', any exclamation point
+ * is replaced with '\!', and the whole thing is enclosed in a
+ * single quote pair.
+ *
+ * For example, if you are passing the result to system() as an
+ * argument:
+ *
+ * sprintf(cmd, "foobar %s %s", sq_quote(arg0), sq_quote(arg1))
+ *
+ * would be appropriate.  If the system() is going to call ssh to
+ * run the command on the other side:
+ *
+ * sprintf(cmd, "git-diff-tree %s %s", sq_quote(arg0), sq_quote(arg1));
+ * sprintf(rcmd, "ssh %s %s", sq_quote(host), sq_quote(cmd));
+ *
+ * Note that the above examples leak memory!  Remember to free result from
+ * sq_quote() in a real application.
+ *
+ * sq_quote_buf() writes to an existing buffer of specified size; it
+ * will return the number of characters that would have been written
+ * excluding the final null regardless of the buffer size.
