I debugged this a bit by adding a print just before line 4388. There we have:

	rev_a=4090
	rev_b=4095
	path=""
	full_url=svn://svn.debian.org/kernel/dists/sid/kernel/linux-2.6
	old_url=svn://svn.debian.org/kernel/dists/sid/kernel/linux-2.6

Mmh, these are really heavy commits it seems. The commitlog suggests that trunk was moved there, and websvn dies with ENOMEM when trying to show the diff.

I will try to start cloning at a later revision.

Best regards Uwe
