Spaces in both project path and project owner have to be encoded as either
'%20' or '+'.
+ Other characters that have to be url-encoded, i.e. replaced by '%'
+ followed by two-digit character number in octal, are: other whitespace
+ characters (because they are field separator in a record), plus sign '+'
+ (because it can be used as replacement for spaces), and percent sign '%'
+ (which is used for encoding / escaping).

You can generate the projects list index file using the project_index
action (the 'TXT' link on projects list page) directly from gitweb.
