Clone into a local name with spaces fails with "too many arguments" #2069

Description

@thomasw-mitutoyo-ctl

When cloning a repo into a local name with spaces, the following error occurs:

fatal: Too many arguments

Assumption: the local name is not embedded in quotes when building the command line. Why do I think so? Because it "works" when quotes are used in the GUI. However, it then fails with a "Folder ... can NOT be found" error message.

It's unusual to require commandline quotation considerations from an end user on Windows.

I'm on Windows 11, git version 2.52.0.windows.1
