Ah, sorry.  The former URL is for usual web browsers, e.g. firefox.
That gives overview of the git repository, and more.  The git repository
address for the command "git" is listed on the page:
git://git.savannah.gnu.org/auctex.git
https://git.savannah.gnu.org/git/auctex.git
ssh://git.savannah.gnu.org:/srv/git/auctex.git

(the last one requires suitable account on savannah, I think)

Thank you for checking.  Now I can be more confident.

Though I didn't write the way explicitly, it's relatively easy.  Change
the last part of `preview-cache-preamble' in preview.el as:

                         (preview-format-kill ',format-cons))
                      ; (delete-file ',dump-file) ;; comment out
) ;; leave this close paren
                   (error (preview-log-error err "Dumping" process)))
                 (preview-reraise-error process)))))))

These spaces are intentional so that w32 shell quoting style would not
interfere with other quote chars.  It seems that consequtive quote chars
are interpreted differently on w32.

Marvelous!

Yes.  More precisely, the required fix is injected in
`TeX-quote-filename' rather than `TeX-region-create'.  On my side, the
given example runs without error.
If you want to try it out for yourself, extract the relavant part from
"tentative-patch2" attached in my previous message
https://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/auctex-devel/2018-05/msg00024.html
.  (But note that "tentative-patch2" as a whole has not been finished
yet and cannot typeset file name with space.)

By the way, I have various things to do for 2-3 days, including my hobby
:-), my next post will be after that.
