Spaces in repository URLs aren't automatically encoded

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. Create a repository with an URL containing a space, e.g.
"svn://svn.mydomain.com/myproject/branches/1.x maintenance"
2. Add the URL to CommitMonitor.
3. Click "Check now"

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?
Expected: the commits of the branch to be retrieved.
Got: "An error occured last time CommitMonitor tried to access the url:
[...] Malformed URL for repository"

What version of the product are you using? On what operating system?
1.1.1.238, WinXP SP2

Please provide any additional information below.
I guess you could argue that it's not a good idea to have spaces in
repository URLs (or branch/tag names) and you're probably right. It seems
to be well supported by Subversion, though. (And TSVN has no problems with
it either.) Plus, it works fine when replacing the space with '%20', so I
guess CommitMonitor could just encode the URL.
I actually assume this applies not only to spaces but to other special
characters requiring proper encoding in URLs as well.
