Path 'SVNURL' is not canonicalized; there is a problem with the client.

Few months back, we were migrating our SVN server into new machine and after the migration we all needed to Re-Locate our sources.
In that case, what we were assisted to replace old server URL with new Server URL.

As Expected Re-Locating went successfully and after that we were trying to get update the Projects Sources with the new server. But it was started throwing following error message.

Path 'https://svnservername.CompanyName.local:8443/svn/projectname' is not canonicalized; there is a problem with the client.

Error itself doesn’t tell much on issue details and was surfing internet to find the solution.

Finally found someone mentioning make all the characters in the URL into simple and try. So made the URL like this

https://svnservername.companyname.local:8443/svn/projectname.

Tried to update the source again and everything went successfully.
