import you mother f*!*er

OK so its simple. I had a couple of .9x installations, I am moving
them to the latest stable version and so I follow some tweaks and
guides here and there and enable file uploads and so crate and empty
web, go to the new_web/import page, select a zip exported by the same
instiki version, hit import and wait. Then I get the file import
success or whatever and now look at the ''all pages''  and low
and
behold lots of orphaned pages. and lots of missing pages.

The reason? any page with a space for example

I am a page

becomes on export

I+am+a+page.textile

which when reimported becomes

I%26am%26a%26page

which is wrong, oh so so so wrong. So my exports are useless, I cant
g back to .9 easily because of upgrading rby and a bunch of other stuff.

WHY WHY WHY WHY, I really need a fix now I have hundreds of pages
which I need to get back online and looking over the code (I am more
a php guy) I get the jist of whats going on but I dont see a way to
fix it easily. Anyone who can just give me a quick fix, even if its
change this line to this I will be eternally grateful....

perhaps a simple url decode of the filename would do?

(now using latest stable trunk version, latest ruby)
