Sorry for bringing up an old story, but since you added "git svn info" with e6fefa9 (git-svn info: implement info command, 2007-11-21),...

I am seeing breakages from the said test:

    not ok - 6 info file
    #
    #               (cd svnwc; svn info file) > expected.info-file &&
    #               (cd gitwc; git svn info file) > actual.info-file &&
    #               test_cmp expected.info-file actual.info-file

    : trash directory.t9119-git-svn-info/master; diff *.info-file

I do not know if we should expect output from "svn info" to match exactly like the above. Is "Text Last Updated" supposed to show the stat timestamp of the working tree (I see "(stat $path)[9]" there)? If so, unless the checkout/update in svnwc and gitwc prior to this test was done within the same second, we do not have a good reason to expect that these files should be identical.

I _think_ "svn info file" actually gives the timestamp of the revision that touched the file the last (in their linear worldview of the history), so perhaps this is demonstrating the real bug, but only when the test runs very slowly?
