t9155 fails on current next when running the testsuite on a Fedora
Core 7 system. The reason is that FC7 comes with svn 1.4.4, while
in commit 3235b70 the --parents option was introduced into t9155
which was added in svn 1.5.

The --parents option appears completely unnecessary in this case,
so removing it should be safe.  Patch coming...

What minimum svn version is required for git svn? I didn't find any
information about that, but I might have overlooked something ...

We currently require >= 1.1.0 of SVN::Core for the git-svn tests at least.

That's still the only hard requirement I know of.  While I haven't had a
1.1.x installation in years, reports of incompatibility have been few.
So either people find it easier to upgrade to newer versions of SVN,
don't care, or there just aren't that many incompatibilities.

I'd say we will continue to do our best to support whatever versions
people care to report (preferably with patches :) incompatibilities for.
