ugly path names (html entities) if spaces are present

[Jeff Fortin Tam]

bzr-gtk now displays a libnotify balloon when a new commit has been done by bzr. The problem is that it doesn't cleanup/convert html entities in path names, so if you have spaces in the path name, they show up as %20, which makes the thing nearly unreadable (and way too long). Not sure if accents or other unicode characters are affected in the same way, but I am guessing they are.

They might want to investigate using "urlutils.unescape_for_display(url,
'utf-8')" which would even convert things like non-ascii branch names.
