Michael (cc'd) posted an identical patch with some more discussion back
in May:

  http://article.gmane.org/gmane.comp.version-control.git/268770

The series languished because none of the reviewers had systems that
reproduced the problem, and I think there's some additional work needed
to get all of the svn-over-http tests running[1].

I think this bit should be OK to take without the rest (though I like
the extra discussion in the original).
