--- Comment #3 from Damien Miller <djm at mindrot.org> ---
I honestly don't know how far we're willing to chase this down in scp -
these are all extremely fiddly and easy to get wrong in the client.

To do it right means basically having to re-implement the entirety of
shell quote handling in scp. Even then, it all goes out the window if
the server happens to be using a different shell. 

In any case, it's too late to get fixes for this into OpenSSH 8.0. I
suggest adjusting your workflows to use sftp or otherwise using the new
scp -T flag to disable the extra client-side checking.
