Not Possible, but it can be worked around.

No.

My solution, put a simlink in the repo to the directory of interest, and in
the modules file use the link.
This still lets you get it with the space [1] when doing release builds, but
lets you make aliases to smaller chunks when you are working.

[1] IMNSHO, spaces in file and directory names are one of the many evils in
computers, remove them when possible and re-educate the creators (as much as
you are allowed :).
