Subversion should be properly URI-encoding the paths it sends through Neon,
and apparently it is not. That's a bug. (Though, the correct URI encoded
form of a space character is "%20" -- the plus sign is, I believe, only for
when the space occurs in the query parameters portion of a URL, not the path
part.)
