+### Please describe the problem.
+
+If a filename has a single space (and only one space), `git annex add` will fail out with the following message:
+
+    add one two git-annex: unknown response from git cat-file ("HEAD:./one two missing",Ref "HEAD:./one two")
+    CallStack (from HasCallStack):
+      error, called at ./Git/CatFile.hs:102:28 in main:Git.CatFile
+
+### What steps will reproduce the problem?
+
+Run the following:
+
+    git init .
+    git annex init
+    touch "one two"
+    # this will cause error
+    git annex add "one two"
+    touch "one two three"
+    # this is fine
+    git annex add "one two three"

+### Have you had any luck using git-annex before? (Sometimes we get tired of reading bug reports all day and a lil' positive end note does wonders)
+
+Just starting out with it as a way of archiving some of my media seems to work great apart from this. Thanks a bunch!
