This is an error message from a pre-commit hook script installed by your Subversion administrator. It's not a Subversion (or TortoiseSVN) bug. FWIW, TortoiseSVN calls the Subversion API directly, so no shell escaping is involved on the client side. Ask your administrator why he or she chose to forbid quotes in the commit messages.
