Here you have to work harder: The reason is that this is part of a perl expression (as opposed to an eval'd string), which does not have access to $svnrepo of the shell by which it is invoked. The original version failed if there were single-quotes in $svnrepo, the new version fails if it contains double-quotes.

You can rewrite this expression as
    perl -w -e '$svnrepo = shift;
	...
	$SVN::Core::Version gt "1.1.0" ...
	system(qw/svnadmin create --fs-type fsfs/, $svnrepo) == 0 ...
	...
    ' >&3 2>&4 "$svnrepo"

i.e. you pass the repository name as an argument to the scriptlet.

May I recommend that you run the test suite in a directory named like this:

    $ mkdir \"\ \$GIT_DIR\ \'
    $ ls
    " $GIT_DIR '


Eww.  I'm struggling a bit with paths this perverse, actually.

For instance, git_editor in git-sh-setup expects the editor path to be pre-quoted. So in t3404, you need to produce escaped double quotes & dollar signs, resulting in unpleasantness like this :

VISUAL="`pwd`/fake-editor.sh"
VISUAL=${VISUAL//\"/\\\"}
VISUAL=${VISUAL//$/\\\$}

This is a bashism - that's a big no-no.

VISUAL=\"$VISUAL\"
export VISUAL


And I'm struggling to come up with neat ways of rewriting things like, eg, this bit from t5500 - test_expect_success "clone shallow" "git-clone --depth 2 \"file://`pwd`/.\" shallow"
- to handle paths like that properly.

These examples expand `pwd` too early. Can't you just put everything inside single-quotes? Although I'm not sure about VISUAL: Is it invoked with $PWD that is different from $PWD when VISUAL is defined? If so, then you can hardly delay `pwd`...

I know I'm a bit anal with my criticism. I reviewed your patch because I think fixing for paths with whitespace is worthwhile. However, I also think any fix should go the full way and not only shift the problems into a different corner. Maybe a word from $maintainer would be in order ;)
