Record -m message behavior

I seems that the -m option to record must be the equivalent of a single word or an error is generated. For example:

record -m "added notes"

generates

Error: Path not in repository: notes"

In order to not error out, you must hyphenate as

record -m added-notes

Is this really the intended behavior?

I doubt that is intended.
You can report it on the pijul repo and be sure to indicate what version you are running.
(Ooops, I tried to go to the Nest, but it isn’t responding.)

Doesn’t happen for me. This seems like a shell bug instead of a Pijul bug, quoting is handled by the shell.
