I created a folder called C:\Program%20files
I can reference both this and the original without any ambiguity.

file:///C:/Program%2520files/ -> opens the new one
file:///C:/Program%20files/ -> opens the old one

Maybe the OS API used by (T)SVN has some bu^Wfeatures regarding this.

Again, I don't understand why is it a problem, that unescaped URLs also work?
Just use escaped ones, they work also. (I'm probably missing something,
as I have not looked into actual (T)SVN code)
