Email address as username in svn+ssh login?

Question

I need to allow access to an svn repository using email addresses as the user name. I can log in to the server over ssh no problem by changing the email address "@" to a "$" like so:

ssh [email protected]

Unfortunately, the same does not work for svn+ssh. This gets me nowhere:

svn ls svn+ssh://[email protected]/home/accountname/data/svn/repos

Anyone know how this is usually done?

Since it's a URL, have you tried URL-encoding the @ sign? I don't know if this would work, but you could try user.name%40mydomain.com.
