Hi, while this commit fixed the selftests, it unfortunately is a regression

 http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.comp.version-control.git/87822/
 http://bugs.debian.org/490400

I'm still not sure whether this is a git-svn problem, or actually a problem in subversion 1.5.0

 $ perl -MSVN::Client -e \
 'sub print_names { print "<$_[0]>\n"; } $ctx=new SVN::Client;
 $ctx->status(".", "BASE", \&print_names, 1, 1, 0, 1);' | head -5
 perl:
 /build/buildd/subversion-1.5.0dfsg1/subversion/libsvn_subr/path.c:119: svn_path_join: Assertion `is_canonical(base, blen)' failed.
