I upgraded to svn 1.4.4 and it seemed to work OK, but then i noticed
some problems, 
 git clone -t tags -T trunk -b branches svn+ssh://devsrv/svn/TM-uboot
failed(error msg was something with "Malformed data ...")

I decided to go back to 1.4.3 with you patch, switch-editor-perl.diff applied. Now the error was gone, but the clone operation did use do_update insted of do_switch. Did I miss someting?
