[mythtv] [OT] help with patching "mytharchive/mythburn/themes/MythCenter - Autoplay/theme.xml"

[Axel Thimm]

Hi,

this is not really mythtv related, but since this happens with mythtv
sources, perhaps s/o knows the answer.

When packaging mythtv & friends from the fixes branch I use the
release tarball and an svn generated patch. This worked great even at
CVS times.

Now I have a strange problem with

    mytharchive/mythburn/themes/MythCenter - Autoplay/theme.xml

I tried to create test cases (filenames with spaces, spaces and
hyphens etc.), but it really only fails for the file above. E.g. the
following part of the patch

Index: mytharchive/mythburn/themes/MythCenter - Autoplay/theme.xml
===================================================================
--- mytharchive/mythburn/themes/MythCenter - Autoplay/theme.xml (revision 11133)
+++ mytharchive/mythburn/themes/MythCenter - Autoplay/theme.xml (revision 11622)
@@ -9,13 +9,13 @@

results in a patch error like

patching file mytharchive/mythburn/themes/G.A.N.T./theme.xml
patching file mytharchive/mythburn/themes/MythCenter/theme.xml
patch: **** File mytharchive/mythburn/themes/MythCenter is not a regular file -- can't patch

So everything after the first space is forgotten. As said I already
tried to narrow it down to a simpler case like "the - file.txt", but I
can't trigger the bug. I also don't know what's the issue, svn's
diffing, the patch program?

How can I fix this? Help! :)
