[webkit-dev] file names with spaces

I was wondering if there are any reasons we would ever need files in
our repository whose file names contain spaces.  The reason is that it
makes shell commands slightly trickier to write (e.g. using the bash
shell).

I found that we currently have these files whose file names have spaces:

> find . -wholename '* *' \! \( -wholename '*.svn*' -or -wholename "*/WebKitBuild/*" \)

./LayoutTests/fast/encoding/resources/%25%u0435 0 %xx%%%ulike.html
./LayoutTests/http/tests/misc/resources/a success.html
./PageLoadTests/svg/files/42450-under the see.svg
./PageLoadTests/svg/files/44057-drops on a blade.svg
./WebCore/manual-tests/inspector/errors-with-space in-url.html
./WebKitSite/demos/transitions-and-transforms/Finder Coverflow.png
./WebKitSite/demos/transitions-and-transforms/Mail Stationery.png
./WebKitSite/demos/transitions-and-transforms/Quick Look.png
./WebKitSite/demos/transitions-and-transforms/Time Machine.png
./WebKitTools/DumpRenderTree/fonts/WebKit Layout Tests 2.ttf
./WebKitTools/DumpRenderTree/fonts/WebKit Layout Tests.ttf

Can we make it a part of our style guide that file names shouldn't have spaces?

Thanks,
