First: don't do this, seriously. You're begging for pain in your scripting to handle such files from now on.

i as able to add other files with space using the following command :

svn st |grep ? |cut -c8- |sed 's/ /\ /g' |xargs svn add

Second, stop playing with xargs in command line handling. It is not your friend.

That seems harsh. Can you explain? It's been my experience that using "find mumble/ -print0 | xargs -0 mumble" almost always provides a way to process arbitrary file names. But maybe this particular case can't be shoehorned into that idiom?
