Portion of URL Escaped Twice

[David Lilienthal]

I have found that URL's are being generated with folder names that are escape encoded twice. This came to my attention when trying to use the Repo-browser to delete a folder from a repository. Folder names containing spaces cannot be removed because the space characters are escape encoded twice: " " -> "%20" -> "%2520". The repository name *can* contain spaces, as these are encoded correctly.

Example:
Trying to delete the folder "this has spaces" from the repository "my repo" results in an error message similar to the following...

URL 'svn://server/my%20repo/this%2520has%2520spaces' does not exist

This occurs under 1.6.8.19260 as well as 1.6.8.19340. I was recently using the 1.6.6.x release, but I cannot say whether that version had the problem. I can say that the 1.6.4.x release definitely did not have the problem.

This is a bug in the svn library that got recently introduced.
It's fixed already and awaits dev votes to get included in the next release.
