At first glance I would say spaces in a URL are not allowed, by

http://www.faqs.org/rfcs/rfc1738.html

The space is forbidden under the section about unsafe characters.

You must percent-encode spaces and other unsafe characters, e.g.:

svn merge https://svr-source01/svn/Repo/Current%20Projects/The%20Doc/
Trunk
