 ### 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)
 I am not an experienced user but after using non-space-remotes-names I've been able to sync my phone with no major problems following the documentation in this page. So great work!

+This is similar to configuring git with a remote that has spaces in its
+name:
+
+       joey@darkstar:/tmp/z>git remote add "My Remote" ../x
+       fatal: 'My Remote' is not a valid remote name
+
+Or configuring a remote.foo.fetch with spaces in the name of the rev:
+
+       joey@darkstar:/tmp/y>git config remote.origin.fetch
+       +refs/heads/*:refs/remotes/Redmi Note 8/*
+       joey@darkstar:/tmp/y>git fetch origin
+       fatal: invalid refspec '+refs/heads/*:refs/remotes/Redmi Note 8/*'
+
+Importing from a special remote with importtree=yes is equivilant from
+pulling from a git remote, and needs to update a branch with a similar
+name as origin/master. And with a remote name with spaces, there is
+no legal branch name that will work.
+
+So, this has to fail. It could fail earlier, or with a better error
+message.
