'svn: Can't copy' when cheking out filenames with spaces

Hi,

I'm using Subversion 1.3 on MacOSX 10.4.7 to check out files from my
server, which is running Subversion 1.3.2 on Linux (Red Hat 9).

A while ago I commited a file with spaces on it's name ( Relatorio de
processos.txt ). To commit this file I had to scape the spaces:

$ svn commit Relatorio\ de\ processos.txt

When I tried to check out the project with the command:

$ svn co -r 2 svn+ssh://svn@172.23.0.6/sofia_agencia/trunk

I got the following error :

svn: Can't copy 'trunk/.svn/tmp/text-base/Relatorio de
processos.txt.svn-base' to 'trunk/Relatorio de processos.txt.tmp': No
such file or directory

I guess it has something to do with the shell trying to interpret the
spaces on the filename.

I tried to checkout the project on a Windows NT box and got the same
error.

A svn move changing the filename (taking out the spaces) on the
server solves the problem, but I would like to be able to use files
with spaces on their names normally. I searched on the archive but
couldn't find anything that applies ( no conflicts between uppercase
and lowercase here).

Any suggestions are welcome.
