ISSUE+PATCH: svn_load_dirs.pl fails on filenames containing $-sign ( probably Cygwin specific )

Hi,

We're using the svn_load_dirs.pl script to import a dump of our previous SCM to
Subversion. Platform is Cygwin on Windows 2000, Subversion version 1.2.0 client
& server, svn_load_dirs.pl rev. 10000.

I encountered an issue in the script with files containing the $-sign:

( extract from console output ):
-----------------------
Running svn propget svn:eol-style
oracle/packages/PCK$GEOROUTE_STREET_SEGMENTS.PKB
svn: 'oracle/packages/PCK.PKB' is not under version control
./svn_load_dirs.pl: svn propget svn:eol-style
oracle/packages/PCK$GEOROUTE_STREET_SEGMENTS.PKB failed with this output:

Press return to quit and clean up svn working directory:
-----------------------

Cause of the error is that in the line:

svn propget svn:eol-style oracle/packages/PCK$GEOROUTE_STREET_SEGMENTS.PKB

the string $GEOROUTE_STREET_SEGMENTS is replaced with its value ( which is
empty ).

I see in the svn_load_dirs.pl script that filenames containing spaces are
already wrapped with double-quotes. This cannot be extended to filenames
with $-sign, as bash expand variables in double-quotes.

So, my patch will wrap all files containing a space or a $-sign with a
single quote instead. Which is a solution that definitely works in Cygwin,
and I'm pretty sure it also works on Linux, but this may be double-checked
by others.

Lieven.
