rdiff-backup has this feature. I'm not sure anyone uses it, and it
was a pain to add and to test adequately, especially when the
additional quoting characters push the length of the filename over the
limit. If I had to do it over I probably would have skipped this
feature (or at least wait until lots of people bothered me about it).
