You might want to try with zsh, it's more flexible and convenient to use
than bash.  I haven't used it on Windows, but here's a linux example:
  $ mkdir -p '/tmp/foo/a bar'
  $ F='/tmp/foo/a bar'
  $ ls -ld $F
  drwxr-xr-x    2 lat      zh           4096 Dec  5 11:26 /tmp/foo/a bar
  $ touch $F/xyz
  $ ls -laF $F
  total 8
  drwxr-xr-x    2 lat      zh           4096 Dec  5 11:26 ./
  drwxr-xr-x    3 lat      zh           4096 Dec  5 11:26 ../
  -rw-r--r--    1 lat      zh              0 Dec  5 11:26 xyz

It has gadzillion options to set, so how it works might be function of
what I have set as my zsh environment, but it should be possible.
