+<h4>Escaping/quoting of pathname arguments to <tt>$SVN_EDITOR</tt>

+ title="Link to this section">¶</a>
+</h4>
+
+<p>When invoking the user-defined <tt>$SVN_EDITOR</tt>, such as during
+interactive conflict resolution, Subversion now performs escaping of any
+special characters in the pathname of the file to be edited. (See
+<a href="http://svn.apache.org/r1874057";>r1874057</a>,
+<a href="http://svn.apache.org/r1874093";>r1874093</a>, and
+<a href="http://svn.apache.org/r1875230";>r1875230</a>.)</p>
+
+<p>Note that escaping is performed only on the pathname argument.
+<tt>$SVN_EDITOR</tt> itself is not escaped: As before, the editor is invoked
+through the shell and the user must properly escape/quote
+<tt>$SVN_EDITOR</tt>. See the related FAQ
+<a href="https://subversion.apache.org/faq.html#svn-editor";>"How do I deal
+with spaces in the editor path? Also, how can I define command line options
+for the editor?"</a></p>
