Hey guys,

I'm working on an import of some repos and I discovered that I can't
import a certain commit due to it's size.  This is the commit:

http://perlcritic.tigris.org/source/browse/perlcritic?view=rev&revision=2676

Clearly it's large :-)

Anyway, here's the error message I get:

   Svndiff data contains invalid instruction: Invalid diff stream:
[new] insn 4 overflows the new data section at
/opt/libexec/git-core/git-svn line 5653

What version of git are you using? I can't find any of those error
messages in the git repo, and it looks like it's the svn library that
is creating the error message.
