Hi Adam,

when cloning the SVN repository at svn://svn.debian.org/estron/ git-svn bails
out with:
Failed to read object e69de29bb2d1d6434b8b29ae775ad8c2e48c5391 at
/usr/local/bin/git-svn line 3195, <GEN36> line 645.

Heh, I should have been more careful.  The series introduces Git::cat_blob
that returns the size of a blob but the interface is broken and signals
error by returning zero.  e69de29bb2d1d6434b8b29ae775ad8c2e48c5391 is a
zero sized blob.

Would this be enough?

At least the failing clone command now works and the history for the
previously empty .cvsignore file (which I guess was the one that caused
the failure) looks good. Didn't check anything else on that clone,
because I had just randomly chosen that repository to test something
completely different and then noticed the clone failure.

Thanks,
Björn
