Description

I set up a new install of redmine, and when I set the svn rep and clicked on Repository for the first time, I got a few dozen of these:

HINT:  Use the escape string syntax for backslashes, e.g., E'\\'.
WARNING:  nonstandard use of \\ in a string literal
LINE 1: ..."committer") VALUES('2007-04-10 23:20:09.009982', 'add ctor ...

Looking at a few of the log messages which trigger this, they all have \ characters in them. I'm guessing this is a postgresqlism, but I don't know enough ruby to know where to look for it.

It seems very unlikely that this defect was fixed by the change in r1344, which appears to be a one-line fix for #1045.

You're right, it was a mistake.
Anyway, I could reproduce your problem with Rails 1.2.6 but it's fixed in Rails 2.0.2.
Here is the corresponding log, you can see that the backslash is now properly encoded:

Changeset Create (0.000000)[0m   [0mINSERT INTO changesets ("commit_date", "comments", "committed_on", "revision", "scmid", "repository_id", "committer") VALUES('2008-04-13 15:01:58.609375', E'Message with a backslash \\', '2008-04-13 15:01:58.609375', E'90', NULL, 1, E'redminez')[0m

You just need to upgrade Rails.
