I've hit this bug today, and fortunately I've found the fix from Christian. Thanks! :)

I am wondering if this bug was the initial reason why the -d and -D options where added to git-svnimport.

Is there another real reason why the -d and -D options exist in git-svnimport?

The documentation for the options say that the "wrong" option will die with 40x, but the commit message[1] says something about "internal server error". I don't know which one is right.

Mathias, couldn't be the errors you described in the commit message related to this bug?
