I think CGit should be encoding the '+' in the path here, but according
to [1] that isn't required in the path element of a URL, so something
else must be wrong.

The patch below should cause CGit to escape the '+', but I haven't had
time to analyze the full implications, so I'm not sure if it will break
anything else (a cursory look suggests it will be OK but I want to spend
a bit more time examining all the callers before sending a proper
patch).
