Here's a bug with svn-fe that I stumbled over while snorkelling through
repo madness.  I've tested it with the version of svn-fe in git.git's
master branch.

Copying the root directory to a sub-directory (e.g. doing `svn cp .
trunk` to standardise your layout) doesn't correctly initialise the new
directory.

This issue sounds very familiar, I wonder if there's an existing test
or pending patch for it? Maybe Dmitry or Jonathan can recall.

I've stepped through the reproduction and the bug seems to arise when
the following command is sent to git-fast-import:

  'ls' SP ':1' SP LF

The expected output in this example is:

  '400000' SP 'tree' SP 'dd59323fe27c5647cb7ef15ce4637faae199c5f0' HT LF

The actual output is:

  'missing' SP LF
