Hi

I got the following error while doing a git push, that's because there is a space in the topic value,I tried two different ways (with and without quotes), is there a way to push when the topic field has spaces or should I be escaping the spaces?

-bash-4.1$ git --git-dir=/mnt/data1/logs/tech_projects/tech-ci/.git --work-tree=/mnt/data1/logs/tech_projects/tech-ci push origin HEAD:refs/for/milestoneE%topic='123456, 789101_milestoneE',r=username1@company.com
fatal: remote part of refspec is not a valid name in HEAD:refs/for/milestoneE%topic='123456, 789101_milestoneE',r=username1@company.com

bash-4.1$ git --git-dir=/mnt/data1/logs/tech_projects/tech-ci/.git --work-tree=/mnt/data1/logs/tech_projects/tech-ci push origin HEAD:refs/for/milestoneE%topic=123456, 789101_milestoneE,r=username1@company.com
error: src refspec 789101_milestoneE,r=username1@company.com does not match any.
error: failed to push some refs to 'ssh://b...@tech-gerrit.sd.company.com:29418/tech-ci.git'

I don't think whitespace is allowed in the remote refspec.

'123456, 789101_milestoneE'

Topic is not a collection.

Topic is not a collection.

Commas and spaces are allowed in topic names. I haven't tried it from the command line, but URL encoding them should work.

using urllib.quote(topic) as part of git push did NOT work actually
