svnserve sends back URI-decoded repos root

Hello, URI-decoders all over the world,

I think I found an error in svnserve regarding its handling of the
repository root URL. During connection establishment (Section 2), the
server sends back the repository root in the repos-info. That URL gets
sent URI-decoded, or what we'll call it. This has to be a server bug. The
client expects the URL encoded, so this leads to the same problem in the
RA layer function get_repos_root as in ra_local before r9931.

It seems pretty easy to fix, but I don't know how we will handle
compatibility between 1.0 and 1.1. Can we just treat it as a bug and not a
protocol change?

Regards,
//Peter
