setup-environment can't handle paths with spaces

From my jenkins logs:

+ MACHINE=beast
+ . ./setup-environment
++ . .repo/manifests/setup-environment-internal
++++ whoami
+++ '[' jenkins = root ']'
+++ OEROOT='/var/lib/jenkins/.jenkins/jobs/Angstrom v2015.06 Angstrom-image builds - manifest/workspace/machine/beast'
+++ cd /var/lib/jenkins/.jenkins/jobs/Angstrom v2015.06 Angstrom-image builds - manifest/workspace/machine/beast
.repo/manifests/setup-environment-internal: line 28: cd: /var/lib/jenkins/.jenkins/jobs/Angstrom: No such file or directory
Build step 'Execute shell' marked build as failure

Metadata collection done.

Looks like it needs to either always use straight quotes or escape it.

It gets a bit further and fails here:

thinking a bit more, I think spaces in dirname wont work with OE in general because the bblayers are split across spaces too. So it will need changes in bitbake to accommodate directories with spaces.

I think you should convert space to underscores

[koenkooi]

You're right, bitbake/OE can't handle spaces in paths either, I've set the custom workspace var to '/build/jenkins/angstrom-v2015.06' in jenkins for now.
