Subversion's canonical URLs are intended to make URL comparison easy and therefore have strict rules about what characters are special enough to urlencode and what characters should be left alone. When in the fallback codepath because unable to use libsvn's own canonicalization function for some reason, escape special characters in URIs according to the svn_uri__char_validity[] table in subversion/libsvn_subr/path.c (r935829). The libsvn versions that trigger this code path are not likely to be strict enough to care, but it's nicer to be consistent. Noticed by using SVN 1.6.17 perl bindings, which do not provide SVN::_Core::svn_uri_canonicalize (triggering the fallback code), with libsvn 1.7.5, whose do_switch is fussy enough to care: Committing to file:///home/jrn/src/git/t/trash%20directory.\ t9118-git-svn-funky-branch-names/svnrepo/pr%20ject/branches\ /more%20fun%20plugin%21 ... svn: E235000: In file '[...]/subversion/libsvn_subr/dirent_uri.c' \ line 2291: assertion failed (svn_uri_is_canonical(url, pool)) error: git-svn died of signal 6 not ok - 3 test dcommit to funky branch After this change, the '!' in 'more%20fun%20plugin!' is not urlencoded and t9118 passes again.

GIT - the stupid content tracker
////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////
"git" can mean anything, depending on your mood.
- random three-letter combination that is pronounceable, and not
actually used by any common UNIX command. The fact that it is a
mispronunciation of "get" may or may not be relevant.
- stupid. contemptible and despicable. simple. Take your pick from the
dictionary of slang.
- "global information tracker": you're in a good mood, and it actually
works for you. Angels sing, and a light suddenly fills the room.
- "goddamn idiotic truckload of sh*t": when it breaks
Git is a fast, scalable, distributed revision control system with an
unusually rich command set that provides both high-level operations
and full access to internals.
Git is an Open Source project covered by the GNU General Public
License version 2 (some parts of it are under different licenses,
compatible with the GPLv2). It was originally written by Linus
Torvalds with help of a group of hackers around the net.
Please read the file INSTALL for installation instructions.
See Documentation/gittutorial.txt to get started, then see
Documentation/everyday.txt for a useful minimum set of commands, and
Documentation/git-commandname.txt for documentation of each command.
If git has been correctly installed, then the tutorial can also be
read with "man gittutorial" or "git help tutorial", and the
documentation of each command with "man git-commandname" or "git help
commandname".
CVS users may also want to read Documentation/gitcvs-migration.txt
("man gitcvs-migration" or "git help cvs-migration" if git is
installed).
Many Git online resources are accessible from http://git-scm.com/
including full documentation and Git related tools.
The user discussion and development of Git take place on the Git
mailing list -- everyone is welcome to post bug reports, feature
requests, comments and patches to git@vger.kernel.org (read
Documentation/SubmittingPatches for instructions on patch submission).
To subscribe to the list, send an email with just "subscribe git" in
the body to majordomo@vger.kernel.org. The mailing list archives are
available at http://marc.theaimsgroup.com/?l=git and other archival
sites.
The messages titled "A note from the maintainer", "What's in
git.git (stable)" and "What's cooking in git.git (topics)" and
the discussion following them on the mailing list give a good
reference for project status, development direction and
remaining tasks.
