Yay!  Am I correct in imagining this makes the following sequence of
commands[1] no longer trip an assertion failure in svn_path_join[2]
with SVN 1.6?

	git svn init -Thttp://trac-hacks.org/svn/tagsplugin/trunk \
		-thttp://trac-hacks.org/svn/tagsplugin/tags \
		-bhttp://trac-hacks.org/svn/tagsplugin/branches
	git svn fetch

[2] 
  $ git svn fetch
  W: Ignoring error from SVN, path probably does not exist: (160013): Filesystem has no item: File not found: revision 100, path '/tagsplugin'
  W: Do not be alarmed at the above message git-svn is just searching aggressively for old history.
  This may take a while on large repositories
