This broke mirroring file:/// URIs;

eg, if I have ~/.svk/local as a SVN repository, which has a complete
mirror of a URL under mirror/fai, and I want to copy the revisions into
git using git-svn, I use:

perl ~/src/git/git-svn multi-init -t tags -T trunk \
     file:///home/samv/.svk/local/mirror/fai

I now get this error:

Filesystem has no item: File not found: revision 8514, path
'/mirror/fai/tags/mirror/fai/tags' at /home/samv/src/git/git-svn line 3236

(next, I'll make git-svn correctly look at the svm:* revprops to get the
upstream repo URL and revision number for the commit message)
