Re: [TSVN] Blanks in PuTTY session names

For instance, I create a new working directory and make a SVN checkout.
A dialog pops up that asks for the URL of the project repository.
There, I enter "svn+ssh://my putty session/svnroot/repos/project".
A PuTTY Session with the name "my putty session" exists, but when I
click "OK", I get an alert box saying
"TortoisePlink:
Unable to open connection:
gethostbyname: unknown error"
When I enter the URL
"svn+ssh://my%20putty%20session/svnroot/repos/project"
it does not work either.

However, the funny thing is, when I rename the PuTTY session (in PuTTY!)
from "my putty session" to "my%20putty%20session",
then the above works (both versions of the URL!).

I'm not a (T)SVN developer and really don't know the code, but if I am
allowed to make an uneducated guess: I suspect it has something to do
with your change 2005-07-05 23:40:06-0700 in SVN/SVN.cpp.
