Subject: git-svn: handling merge-base failures
Message-ID: <931B0483-7628-488E-BB9F-C40346353149@apple.com>

One of my projects is failing to clone because merge-base is failing on one of the revisions; the branch is a partial branch, so merge-base can't find a common ancestor with trunk.  I'd like to catch the exception that command_oneline should throw when merge-base fails, but my perl is very rusty and I'm struggling to get git-svn.perl to grok the Git::Error::Command class.  What is the appropriate way to import that class?  Or more generally, is there a better solution to handling this error case?
