Merge branch 'jk/quote-env-path-list-component' into maint
A recent update to receive-pack to make it easier to drop garbage
objects made it clear that GIT_ALTERNATE_OBJECT_DIRECTORIES cannot
have a pathname with a colon in it (no surprise!), and this in turn
made it impossible to push into a repository at such a path. This
has been fixed by introducing a quoting mechanism used when
appending such a path to the colon-separated list.
* jk/quote-env-path-list-component:
t5615-alternate-env: double-quotes in file names do not work on Windows
t5547-push-quarantine: run the path separator test on Windows, too
tmp-objdir: quote paths we add to alternates
alternates: accept double-quoted paths
