strace revealed that git-svn url-encodes ~ while svn does not do that.

For svn we have:
write(5, "<S:update-report send-all=\"true\" xmlns:S=\"svn:\">
<S:src-path>https://sucs.org/~welshbyte/svn/backuptool/trunk</S:src-path>...

While git-svn shows:
write(7, "<S:update-report send-all=\"true\" xmlns:S=\"svn:\">
<S:src-path>https://sucs.org/%7Ewelshbyte/svn/backuptool/trunk</S:src-path>...

This looks like an XML based request sequence to me (and svn is talking
WebDAV here, right?);

XML based would be &126;, not %7E.
Anyways, aren't there ready-to-use url quoting functions in perl ?
