I had somewhat similar problem with git-svn fetch to a repository 
created with 1.5.3.something failing issuing REPORT. I've tracked down 
the problem to commit f5530b8833bcaa423cd53d133d3de3fa0173fbf3 to git, 
reverting it seems to fix git-svn fetch for me. YMMV.

I tried to follow where/how URL escaping happens / isn't happening 
(there are issues like 'if (<unescaped url> eq <escaped url>)' around - 
mostly because repos_root is escaped) but couldn't get things working. :-/
