svn:externals with a space in the directory name

With svn:externals, I'd like to put a space in the local directory
name. For example:

"My External" svn://host/directory

According to a message on the Tortoise mailing list [1], the trick is
to replace the space with %20, like this:

My%20External svn://host/directory

Now, I don't use Tortoise, just the command line on Mac OS X, and
when I put %20 in the name, I get a directory with the characters "%
20" in it.

Is there some other way of using svn:externals with spaces? I've
tried surrounding the directory with quotation marks, but that gives
parse errors. Thanks,

Trevor
