It helps to include the breaking change's details in the message in
reports like this.  Here it is:

From: Benoit Sigoure <redacted>
Subject: git-svn: add a generic tree traversal to fetch SVN properties

    * git-svn.perl (&traverse_ignore): Remove.
    (&prop_walk): New.
    (&cmd_show_ignore): Use prop_walk.

[ew: This will ease the implementation of the `create-ignore',
     `propget', and `proplist' commands]

Thanks, I thought it could be considered chatter. :-)

It looks like the patch from Christian Engwer posted here yesterday[1] is a fix
for the described problem. 

As a side note, "svn:mergeinfo" is rapidly becoming an 'interesting'
property and should probably be added to the list.  

That's interesting, I wasn't aware they're finally tackling merge
tracking.
