Public bug reported:
If the directory you wish to publish to contains characters that need to
be escaped for a URL then create repo bombs out and will not work.

ValueError: Error parsing "baseurl = 'file:///home/luser/source/a

The code is obviously wrong...

self._repo.baseurl = 'file://' + realpath
You can not assume that an abitrary directory can be converted to a URL
by prepending with file:// - characters need to be escaped - this is
the whole reason why URL handling functions exist - e.g.
