I do not think there are any issues here that can be addressed by Subclipse.
The cached data is owned by the client interface (SVNKit or JavaHL) and
there is currently no API exposed to work with it. We have asked for one,
so someday we be able to do something. The problem with spaces in the user
name would live with your client as well. In your case, it sounds like
SVNKit. You should send that problem to support@svnkit.com.
