Yes, the url I gave contains also svn stuff. I have to cleanup the repo. I
updated the wiki page with the correct url:
svn://home.prea.net/svn/GSoC/pluginProva/

in fact I answered before examining the bug... there is no backslash problem.
Instead, I have to cope with paths containing whitespaces, because R strictly
rejects them if spaces are not escaped. If the path where to save output files
doesn't contain spaces, all is going very well until now!

Anne
