Description

This is actually a problem I've noticed on both Windows XP and Windows 7. When
running an 'svn delete' command on a URL containing spaces, the URL gets
URI-encoded twice.

E.g. "http://svn/foo/2009-07 Rotten Monthend.csv" becomes:
"http://localhost/svn/foo/2009-07%20Rotten%20Monthend.csv" ->
"http://localhost/svn/foo/2009-07%2520Rotten%2520Monthend.csv"

"http://svn/foo/2009-07%20Rotten%20Monthend.csv" also becomes:
"http://localhost/svn/foo/2009-07%2520Rotten%2520Monthend.csv"

Neither escaping the space nor the percent characters works (it just makes a
bigger mess). As yet, I have found no way to delete these files using the
command-line client; however, Subversive seems to have no problem deleting them.
