format 3 and format 5 ... spaces in URL bug in SVN 1.4

Not sure where to go from here, so I'll start from the beginning...

I was using the latest TortoiseSVN (1.4) and created a new file repos on
the server. Fantastic.

Then I attempted to import my files into it, and it gave me an error in
the repo browswer

Error * Expected format '3' of repository; found format '5'

Which wasn't very nice... so I googled and found

"Be sure to check your client version.

For instance, oooh.. running svn version 1.2.3 with a repo version 1.4.0
(which I did) would be bad."
http://brok3n.org/archivesextreme/2006/09/old_svn_client.html

So then I thought ahhh my TortoiseSVN is probably out of synch with my
svnserve.exe on the server! And lo-and behold I was using svnserve 1.2
or something. So off I went to upgrade it to 1.4.

I installed Subversion 1.4 and then attempted to use the repo browser to
view my repos, then I got the error similar to

> svn ls "svn://localhost/Test Repo"
> svn: 'svn://localhost/Test Repo' is not the same repository
> as 'svn://localhost/Test%20Repo'
(see http://svn.haxx.se/users/archive-2006-09/1195.shtml)

and it turns out Subversion 1.4 can't handle spaces in the URL

So I backdated my Subversion to 1.3

But now 1.3 won't work with TortoiseSVN due to the earlier error
expecting format 3 and got format 5.

Where do I go from here? Use an earlier version of Tortoise?? Can I
patch Subversion 1.4??

Subversion is on Windows Server 2003, and all my clients are TortoiseSVN

And what do the numbers in that plain 'format' file mean anyway?
