Subject: [PATCH] svn: Quote repository root in regex match
Message-ID: <1320100632-10058-1-git-send-email-ted.percival@quest.com>
URL: https://gitlist.dev/e/1320100632-10058-1-git-send-email-ted.percival%40quest.com

```
Fixes a problem matching repository URLs, especially those with a '+' in
the URL, such as svn+ssh:// URLs. Parts of the URL were interpreted as
special characters by the regex matching.
