[JENKINS-40692] Excluded regions don't work

Excluded regions for subversion scm polling doesn't work for us. Our repository URL is:

```
http://svn.ontwikkel.local/svn/LSV/02 Source code/trunk

```

In the workspace are (among others) the following directories:

```
.svn
ci
lib
lsv
lsv-spoorws-stub
lsv-voorvalws-stub}}
(etc...)

```

We don't want the build to be triggered upon changes underneath the lsv-spoorws-stub and lsv-voorvalws-stub directories. However, whatever we put in the "excluded regions" field, the build is always triggered whenever we check in a change to our test file (lsv-spoorws-stub/test.txt). We have tried the following permutations:

```
lsv-spoorws-stub/.*
lsv-voorvalws-stub/.*

/lsv-spoorws-stub/.*
/lsv-voorvalws-stub/.*

/trunk/lsv-spoorws-stub/.*
/trunk/lsv-voorvalws-stub/.*

/svn/LSV/02 Source code/trunk/lsv-spoorws-stub/.*
/svn/LSV/02 Source code/trunk/lsv-voorvalws-stub/.*

/svn/LSV/02%20Source%20code/trunk/lsv-spoorws-stub/.*
/svn/LSV/02%20Source%20code/trunk/lsv-voorvalws-stub/.*

/svn/LSV/02?Source?code/trunk/lsv-spoorws-stub/.*
/svn/LSV/02?Source?code/trunk/lsv-voorvalws-stub/.*

```

None of them worked. Could the spaces in the URL be causing the problem? Is there any debug logging we can activate so that we can see exactly what the plugin is doing and why it is deciding that the patterns don't match?

By the way, it would be good to add to this feature's help text against what the regular expression is evaluated.
