I just tried this (commit 2254d) and was unable to reproduce; it worked fine for me (Debian etch).

  git svn clone -T trunk --ignore-paths releases
http://paintweb.googlecode.com/svn paintweb.git
  ...
  r6 = 8561205fe08e0bcefb592710f4e34db91f3099df (trunk)
  Checked out HEAD:
    http://paintweb.googlecode.com/svn/trunk r6

Maybe you can try 'git bisect' to narrow it down.

Have fun,
