Thanks.

I'm definitely not able to reproduce this here, and I'm sure Junio wouldn't have pushed out if he could, either... Which versions of SVN and Perl (MD5) do you have?

A backtrace with debugging symbols could be helpful if the below stab in the dark doesn't work out:

Maybe there's an off chance that the MD5 implementation you're using can't handle zero-sized files?

Junio: can you apply the following patch regardless of whether or not it
fixes this issue?  It just makes more sense, thanks.

Subject: [PATCH] git-svn: avoid md5 calculation entirely if SVN doesn't provide one

There's no point in calculating an MD5 if we're not going to use it. We'll also avoid the possibility of there being a bug in the Perl MD5 library not being able to handle zero-sized files.

This is a followup to 20b3d206acbbb042c7ad5f42d36ff8d036a538c5, which allows us to track repositories that do not provide MD5 checksums.
