Good catch, the commit could use a better description, something like:
--------------------------- 8< ----------------------------
Subject: [PATCH] git-svn: "info" checks for dirs more carefully

This avoids a "Reading from filehandle failed at ..." error when
running "git svn info `pwd`".

While your patch avoids an error, but the output isn't right, either.
I tried it running in /home/ew/ruby, the URL field is bogus:

    ~/ruby$ git svn info `pwd`
    Path: /home/ew/ruby
    URL: svn+ssh://svn.ruby-lang.org/ruby/trunk/home/ew/ruby
    Repository Root: svn+ssh://svn.ruby-lang.org/ruby

The URL should be:

    URL: svn+ssh://svn.ruby-lang.org/ruby/trunk

It's better than an error, but it'd be nice if someone who uses
this command can fix it (*hint* :).

"or" has a lower precedence than "||", so I would do the following:

	return ("dir", $diff_status) if $mode eq "040000" || -d $path;

The general rule I've learned is to use "||" for conditionals and
"or" for control flow (e.g. do_something() or die("...") ).

I can take your patch with the above changes (no need to resend),
but I'd be happier to see the URL field corrected if you want
to reroll.

Thanks.

Thx, I missed this. However this bug was not introduced with my patch,
it was there before. If you try use `git svn info full_path` and
directory is not a root dir this bug will occour even wihout my patch.

However I'll try to find some time to fix this too.

I'll try to fix whis url bug, but it will be different patch 'cause I
think, this is different kind of a problem.

Hi Andrej, I could not help thinking your patch was obscuring
another bug.  I think I have an alternative to your patch which
fixes both our bugs.  Can you give this a shot?  Thanks.

Subject: [PATCH] git svn: info: correctly handle absolute path args

Calling "git svn info $(pwd)" would hit:
  "Reading from filehandle failed at ..."
errors due to improper prefixing and canonicalization.

Strip the toplevel path from absolute filesystem paths to ensure
downstream canonicalization routines are only exposed to paths
tracked in git (or SVN).

Hi Eric,

Nice touch, It works like charm. However unfortunatelly now I think you
introduced new bug :)

I have problem with this line ^^^

Suppose your $toplevel is "/sometning" and you type in command line
something like that: "git svn info /somethingsrc" and as you see this
should end up with error. However "$path =~ s!\A\Q$toplevel\E/?!!;"
will just cut "/sometning" from "/somethingsrc" and and up with same
answer as for "svn git info src" which is not equivalent query.

Second scenario is something which worries me more: If your query look
like this: "git svn info /something//src" it will just end up with error
because it will set $path to "/src" witch is outside of repository.

Second scenario can be fixed with this:

However I'm not sure if this will work on windows (where slashes are in
different orientation).
