Hi,
Trying to clone an SVN repository I get:

fatal: ambiguous argument '907deda1c3ca2b42352e1ac2ce9f0dc57c177818^..db1341887792beec3ca68dc3196b40b231fdb545': unknown revision or path not in the working tree. Use '--' to separate paths from revisions rev-list 907deda1c3ca2b42352e1ac2ce9f0dc57c177818^..db1341887792beec3ca68dc3196b40b231fdb545: command returned error: 128

907deda1c is the very first commit on the SVN trunk, and it does not have a parent:

$ git cat-file -p 907deda1c tree 4b825dc642cb6eb9a060e54bf8d69288fbee4904 author loomis <loomis@60caac41-0bef-0310-ae6f-f8fb43407fe4> 1107528823 +0000 committer loomis <loomis@60caac41-0bef-0310-ae6f-f8fb43407fe4> 1107528823 +0000
