Lock message with ampersand fails over http

svn lock http://server/repo/path/to/file.txt -m"Lock & load"

fails with error:

svn: Server sent unexpected return value (400 Bad Request) in response to
LOCK request for '/repo/path/to/file.txt'

It works fine over the file:// protocol. svn:// and http:// over serf was
not tested.

Fails with Subversion 1.5.5 and 1.6.0 clients to a Subversion 1.5.5
server.

Removing the ampersand from the lock message allows the lock to complete
successfully.

No hook scripts have been enabled.

Can others test over serf and/or svn:// to see if it is a neon only issue?

Searched bug tracker for "ampersand" and no existing issues showed up.
