[Subclipse-users] Exception when using character sequences in commit message

Hi,

when we check in things into subversion we use:

-------------8<-------------
Tom Schindl <tom.schindl@bestsolution.at>
- message
-------------8<-------------

This is not working any more since a few days and we get an Exception
saying like this:

The exception produced by Subversive is a bit better and helped us to
find the source of the problem:

------------------8<------------------
MERGE request failed on
'/repos/teamtec/abssystem/webapp/trunk/JavaSource'
Processing MERGE request response failed: Element type "tom.schindl" must
be followed by either attribute specifications, ">" or "/>".

org.tigris.subversion.javahl.JavaHLObjectFactory.throwException(JavaHLObjectFactory.java:565)

        at
org.polarion.team.svn.client.javasvn.JavaSVNClientProxy.commit(JavaSVNClientProxy.java:112)
        ... 21 more
------------------8<------------------

If I replace <tom.schindl@bestsolution.at> through "-
tom.schindl@bestsolution.at" everything works as expected. It seems the
source of the problem are neither Subversive nor Subclipse but the
underlying JavaHL or Subversion.
