That's unfortunate, but this is actually 'by design'. You see, the path
TSVN uses comes from the second column in that dialog. And the content
of that column can be anything, not just paths. So the function parses
the string of that column to find something that could be a path. And
since most messages shown in that column en-quote paths with single
quotes, the parser uses those single quotes to extract the path.

Maybe I can improve the function a little bit, but paths that have
single quotes in it will most likely always cause problems in that dialog.
