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

Description
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.

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