Package: mg
Version: 20070918-1
Severity: normal

This works

    echo yow "/tmp/harry's"
    mg "/tmp/harry's"

This doesn't

    mkdir "/tmp/digby's"
    echo yow "/tmp/digby's/x"
    mg "/tmp/digby's"

Instead of a directory listing, the dired buffer contains

    sh: Syntax error: Unterminated quoted string

This suggests that dired is using a shell, and not performing adequate
quoting.  Suggest dired exec ls directly, so it doesn't need to
perform any quoting/escaping for sh.
