That's a possibility - the old clone was created by fetching every few days. It is possible that the author edited it after commiting a blank message and i fetched.

btw, git svn seems to disallow single word commit messages (or is it a svn config?). i found that i could not do git svn dcommit, when i had merely did git commit -m 'typos', for example, for an svn repo i have write access to. (I don't have them many such things, so it is difficult to tell whether it is a repo config, or a git svn strangeness). i just do rebase and do 'typo correction' or something before re-dcommit in the past.

Probably an SVN hook preventing it.  git-svn test cases such as
t/t9118-git-svn-funky-branch-names.sh do single word commits.

Thanks - I see indeed - at least that clears that up.
