Just noticed that TSVN does indeed escape the URLs automatically. So
there must be another reason why the relocate didn't work as expected.

Question:
When you right-clicked to bring up the relocate dialog, which URL
corresponds to that folder?

The problem you might have gone through is this:

- wc-root pointing to file:///repos/trunk
- you relocate from file:///repos/trunk/subfolder to
   file:///repos/trunk/subfolder2

Now, Subversion tries to relocate from the wc root down. But the wc root
points to file:///repos/trunk, which doesn't match
file:///repos/trunk/subfolder (the strings don't match). So it stops the
relocating without an error.

Note: relocating is *only* be used if the server part of an URL changes.
If you just change a subfolder, you must use the switch command.
