   5/* Help to copy the thing properly quoted for the shell safety.
   6 * any single quote is replaced with '\'', and the whole thing
   7 * is enclosed in a single quote pair.
   8 *
   9 * For example, if you are passing the result to system() as an
  10 * argument:
  11 *
  12 * sprintf(cmd, "foobar %s %s", sq_quote(arg0), sq_quote(arg1))
  13 *
  14 * would be appropriate.  If the system() is going to call ssh to
  15 * run the command on the other side:
  16 *
  17 * sprintf(cmd, "git-diff-tree %s %s", sq_quote(arg0), sq_quote(arg1));
  18 * sprintf(rcmd, "ssh %s %s", sq_quote(host), sq_quote(cmd));
  19 *
  20 * Note that the above examples leak memory!  Remember to free result from
  21 * sq_quote() in a real application.
