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

We tried techniques like those once but they are encoding the URL the way a
browser form POST wants to do it, not the way Subversion expects it. I
will try to find the RFC that Subversion is following and see if I can find
something better, but we have done this in the past. We obviously would
prefer to call a method someone else wrote that does this correctly.
