Ye, i know ;) This is really old stuff and we already changed them to more sane ones ;)

ah brainfart.

This info is essential!

quoted = branches/dirk/Abo-Uebernahme... => https...branches/Abo-Uebernahme...

This is not a URI Escaping Problem. As i allready mentioned: I think its a svn
problem and git can't handle that.

svn History:

r203 svn copy /trunk/ /branches/dirk/Abo..
r204 svn mv /branches/dirk/Abo..   /branches/Abo..
r341 svn mv /branches/Abo.. /branches/0944-Abo..

r203 branch was created from trunk.
r204 branch was moved from /branches/dirk/ to /branches
r341 branch was renamed to 0944-Abo

This is what git does.

I think the problem is that git doesn't like this kinda action.
branch -> do something with branch -> rename branch.

After some debugging i found something in git-svn

sub find_parent_branch
{
...
	} elseif ($self->ra->trees_match($new_url, $r0, $self->full_url, $rev))
	....
}

the trees_match sub doesn't do any error handling. if $self->full_url doesn't
exits anymore this will fail, right? 

I don't know if the followong piece of code in find_parent_branch works like
you expect it!?

>        $SVN::Error::handler = $err_handler;

Maybe its just a problem with renaming branches or something!?
My Perl knowledge is really limited, so its up to you my friend ;)
