TortoiseSVN bug: compare Open Office documents fails when filename contains spaces

Hello,

Just reporting a small bug in the built-in TortoiseSVN comparison
functions.

Using TortoiseSVN 1.4.5. build 10425 on Windows XP Professional, I am
trying to compare two revisions of a Word document using OpenOffice
Writer as the comparison tool. I have changed the Settings->Advanced so
that the script invoked for .doc files is the same as the default for
.odt documents.

If I try and compare revisions of a document with spaces in its name,
using the Repo Brower->Log, then selecting two revisions and Compare,
the comparison works.

If I then try and compare the same two revisions, using the log message
window popped up by right-clicking the file in a working copy, the
compare fails with the error message
"<document_name>-rev<earlier_revision_of_the_two>.svn000.tmp.doc does
not exist".

If I try and compare the two revisions using the log window from a
working copy *without* having previously done a comparision using the
log window from the Repo Browser, the compare fails with the error
message "Script: C:\Program Files\TortoiseSVN\Diff-Scripts\diff-odt.vbs
| Line: 65 | Char: 1 | Error:
com.sun.star.lang.IllegalArgumentException: URL seems to be an
unsupported one. | Code: 800A03E9 | Source: [automation bridge]".

I have done a bit of investigation, and I think the problem is something
to do with the way spaces are converted into the string '%20' when the
file names are turned into URLs. It doesn't seem to happen consistently
- so the compare is trying to open a file with a converted name, when
the name of the temporary file on the disk contains real spaces.

Regards,
