t9118 broken in current master, 9918285, git/git/v1.7.2-rc2

I've been busy with other projects and haven't attempted a full make & 
make test since f526d12, which did pass all the tests. Since the test 
name implies svn/git-svn breakage, I hoping the git-svn experts can find 
the problem.

This was on an amd64 Debian Squeeze system, up to date as of about 13:00 
EDT today.
