Hi,

I tried out the testsvn remote helper on a simple Subversion
repository, but it seems to hang at Revision 8 indefinitely without
any indication of progress.  I'm currently digging in to see what went
wrong.  The repository I'm cloning is:

  $ git clone testsvn::http://python-lastfm.googlecode.com/svn/trunk/

Thanks.

Ram

```

I attempted to clone the same repository and was able to fetch 152 revisions.
So the issue Ram saw might have been temporal.


I did however receive a warning at the end of the clone:

    warning: remote HEAD refers to nonexistent ref, unable to checkout.

Nope, I'm able to reproduce it everytime.  I wonder what's going on.
