Hi,

Trying to clone an SVN repository I get:

fatal: ambiguous argument '907deda1c3ca2b42352e1ac2ce9f0dc57c177818^..db1341887792beec3ca68dc3196b40b231fdb545': unknown revision or path not in the working tree.
Use '--' to separate paths from revisions
rev-list 907deda1c3ca2b42352e1ac2ce9f0dc57c177818^..db1341887792beec3ca68dc3196b40b231fdb545: command returned error: 128

907deda1c is the very first commit on the SVN trunk, and it does not
have a parent:

$ git cat-file -p 907deda1c
