Description

I seem to be able to cd into a directory and edit a file in vim and have it restored. When I just type the full path name of the with vim it fails to restore. This is worse when there are escape characters, such as spaces in the name.

Contributor guide

Research direction
Investigate the tmux resurrect script that saves/restores vim sessions. Focus on how file paths with escape characters (e.g., spaces) are handled. Check if proper quoting or escaping is missing. Look at the save and restore functions for vim session files.
