Problem with ssh-copy-id when home folder contains spaces

[Corinna Vinschen]

Hi,

some guy on the Cygwin mailing list found that ssh-copy-id chokes
on directories with spaces, which are quite common on Windows.

He also provided an easy fix, basically just adding quotes, which I
attached to this mail.  Would that be ok to apply upstream?


Thanks,
Corinna
