during the history of a repo a svn:external could be added and later removed; such externals shouldn't be displayed since only the current state is relevant

I have encountered the broken behaviour on a git-svn repo with the svn origin a repo served via https (git 1:1.5.6-1~bpo40+1 from Debian Etch backports.) I hope this bug doesn't have to do with the svn repo being served via https.

This one is properly formated (the previous one was a copy/paste from the output of the console).

I have finally found the root of this breakage. It seems that the older versions of subversion allowed a svn:external property to be empty, thus generating the zombie externals. Newer versions of subversion (I checked this with 1.4.2 (r22196) from Debian Etch) do not allow such empty svn:externals.
