No, the log parsing routine in TSVN won't be affected by this.
But I'm wondering: why does your software use such "cryptic" issue
numbers? Seems to me that such an issue number format makes the life of
a dev just complicated. Why not just a simple number? What does the XYZ
stand for?

IE, Mozilla, Firebird and Opera will escape such URL's automatically.
But I can add the code so that TSVN will escape the %BUGID% part.

I won't add such a property unless you pay for my bodyguard. Because if
I add that I will need a bodyguard protecting me from very angry users!
To make that clear I wrote in the document mentioned in the first mail
that an empty text box (i.e. if the user doesn't write any issue number
in it) means that _no error_ is given by the client. It is then assumed
that the commit doesn't apply to any issues.
