can't use date in external properties

[Jean-Baptiste Maillet <jb...@free.fr>]

Hello list,

I can't use date as a revision in external properties.

This is OK :
.root/platform  -r3368         
http://pcl80/svn/main/Platform/autoconf/trunk

But this is NOK :
.root/platform  -r{2006-02-17} 
http://pcl80/svn/main/Platform/autoconf/trunk

After a "svn propedit svn:externals .", on "svn up" the client complains :

Fetching external item into '.root/platform'
svn: REPORT request failed on '/svn/main/!svn/vcc/default'
svn: Cannot replace a directory from within

The server log says :

[Wed Mar 01 15:25:32 2006] [error] [client 130.142.8.168] A failure
occurred while driving the update report editor  [500, #160005]
[Wed Mar 01 15:25:32 2006] [error] [client 130.142.8.168] Cannot replace a
directory from within  [500, #160005]

Some other syntax fails when leavins the external properties edit session,
ex :
svn: Error parsing svn:externals property on '.': '.root/platform 
--revision {2006-02-17}  http://pcl80/svn/main/Platform/autoconf/trunk'

I tried various other date syntax as examplified in the documentation
without success. This looks like a bug to me.

client and server are version 1.3.0 (r17949)
