This is an error message from a pre-commit hook script installed by
your Subversion administrator. It's not a Subversion (or TortoiseSVN)
bug. FWIW, TortoiseSVN calls the Subversion API directly, so no shell
escaping is involved on the client side.

Ask your administrator why he or she chose to forbid quotes in the
commit messages.
