Re: [Subclipse-users] Can't create folder with square brackets

I was able to reproduce the problem by right clicking a folder in the SVN
Repositories view, selecting New -> New remote folder, and then trying to
add a folder with square brackets in the name. I got:

org.apache.subversion.javahl.ClientException: Bogus URL svn: URL
'myurlwithbrackets' is not properly URI-encoded

I got similar errors if I tried to show history for a folder or file with
square brackets in the name.
