I ran into this on Debian/unstable.  With svn 1.5.0 the selftest fails
without the patch, with svn 1.4.6 it succeeds with and without the
patch.  I'm not familar with the svn interfaces, not sure whether this
is a regression in subversion, or a bug in git-svn.

Hi, while this commit fixed the selftests, it unfortunately is a
regression

I'm still not sure whether this is a git-svn problem, or actually a
problem in subversion 1.5.0

 $ perl -MSVN::Client -e \
 'sub print_names { print "<$_[0]>\n"; } $ctx=new SVN::Client;
 $ctx->status(".", "BASE", \&print_names, 1, 1, 0, 1);' | head -5
 perl:
 /build/buildd/subversion-1.5.0dfsg1/subversion/libsvn_subr/path.c:119: svn_path_join: Assertion `is_canonical(base, blen)' failed.
