URL Encoded spaces in svn:externals cause 'unsupported format character'

[trac@…]

Using 0.11rc1 on OS X and Windows XP with Python2.5 and 2.5 repectively.

Related to #6785 (r6504) Trac has trouble displaying %20 and other URL encoded characters in svn:externals in the SVN repository itelf (as opposed to in trac.ini).

For example this is a valid svn external:

svn propget svn:externals .
>project2 http://localhost/src/branches/project%20Two

But gives a ValueError: unsupported format character 'T' (0x42) at index as it tries to interpret the %20T string in some way.

This affects updates to the Timeline, the Changeset where the external was added and the Source Browser when viewing the dir containing the external.

Yeah, the svn:externals handling needs a little love. #7123 was also an issue recently, so we really need to have more testcases in there.

Replying to thatch:

BTW, as SVN 1.5 introduces many more syntaxes for svn:externals, it would be nice to add support for them - if this is not already implemented.

Fixed in [7157].

Patches welcomed for supporting 1.5-style svn:externals.
