Is it bug when '*' appears in the url

Dear folks,

I have encountered a problem that when the character * appears in the url,
the tortoise svn can not process it.

For example, a repository has the following layout:

/
/tags
   /arelease
      /code
      /doc
   /DF*2000_01_03*MD
      /code
      /doc
   /QA*2007_04_05*QT
/branches
   /vendor
/trunk
   /code
   /doc

Tortoise SVN can not checkout or even expand tags with * in the repository
browser while this repository works well in Linux. I have captured some
packages through wireshark and found out tortoise svn send a wrong url in
the "PROPFIND" field: "PROPFIND /tags". It should be "PROPFIND
/tags/DF*2000_01_03*MD" I suppose.

And the interesting thing is tortoise svn can create a tag with * in the
Branch/Tag operation.

Is it a bug when processing the url?

Thanks for your kindly help!

Best regards!

Sincerely,
Alex Zhu
