Nonetheless I'm reporting here in the hope\nthat somebody else will have seen a similar problem or have an idea what\nmight be going wrong.\n\nInterestingly, the below _does_ work:\n\n    $ git svn init svn://svn.code.sf.net/p/squirrelmail/code\n    Initialized empty Git repository in /home/add/tmp/.git/\n\n    $ git config svn-remote.svn.fetch trunk:refs/remotes/origin/trunk\n\n    $ git svn fetch\n    r1 = 12dc820c417dc5f12723307a3fcfa4629ea972fb (refs/remotes/origin/trunk)\n            A       squirrelmail/ATHORS\n            A       squirrelmail/login.php3\n            A       squirrelmail/signout.php3\n    ...\n\nThere are no obvious test case failures, either.\n\nDoes anyone have any ideas about what might be going wrong?\n"}]}
