Does it fail too if you escape the url (i.e., replace the space with
'%20') ?
I've just tried several merges with folders that have spaces and other
special chars in them successfully, but I was using file:/// instead of
http://. That indicates a problem in the svn library: can you try the
merge with the svn command line client?
