fetch, tag, and branch config values have surrounding tics

[EmperorMollusk]

Error seen on windows machines running 2.12.0.windows.1

git svn init command now has tics surrounding supplied trunk, tag, and branch locations i.e.

Running command: git svn init --prefix=svn/ --no-metadata --trunk='/path/to/trunk' --tags='/path/to/tags' --branches='/path/to/Branches' https://svn.repository.com/location

When this command is run the tics are added to the config file values i.e.

fetch = '/path/to/trunk':refs/remotes/svn/trunk

This makes the paths invalid and the fetch command never finds the path in the SVN repository.

This absolutely is the problem on windows. I've confirmed this by manually editing out the ' around the --branches, --tags, --trunk generated paramters and it ran flawlessly without problems. This should be fixed. lets merge --stdlayout in!

Here is an example of the editing @Skintkingle suggests in the comment above: https://stackoverflow.com/a/49349790/1608179
I don't know if the same would work on *nix, though.

If tics are edited out, spaces in arguments aren't supported... While spaces are uncommon in branch names (and not supported in git anyway) the same issue applies to other arguments such as --exclude. In both cases, using double quotes (rather than no quotes) when running on Windows would be most appropriate.

Maybe consider having a separate switch that decides whether to use single or double quotes around arguments that are passed on to git svn? The naming could indicate that this is a Windows compatibility setting, like --windows-compat or whatever :)
