You have a broken Subversion installation. If it occurs from both the command-line client, and TortoiseSVN, I would guess the problem lies on the server.
The server can be configured with various scripts to do things like access control, or implement checkin policies, trigger builds, etc. My guess is that the server has a broken script. In any event, you're barking up the wrong tree. Hyphens work fine with Subversion, and looking for a workaround is something you should not even think of doing in this case. This is a SERIOUS problem with your subversion server, and needs to be urgently addressed and repaired, not worked around. Repositories are too critical to tolerate fragile workarounds.
