And here is the failing part of the test using sh -x:

+ test_expect_success 'fetch revisions from svn' 'git-svn fetch'
+ test 2 = 2
+ test_skip 'fetch revisions from svn' 'git-svn fetch'
++ expr ././t9112-git-svn-md5less-file.sh : '.*/\(t[0-9]*\)-[^/]*$'
+ this_test=t9112
++ expr 2 + 1
+ this_test=t9112.3
+ to_skip=
+ case "$to_skip" in
+ false
+ say 'expecting success: git-svn fetch'
+ echo '* expecting success: git-svn fetch'
* expecting success: git-svn fetch
+ test_run_ 'git-svn fetch'
+ eval 'git-svn fetch'
++ git-svn fetch
./test-lib.sh: line 141:  8276 Segmentation fault      git-svn fetch
+ eval_ret=139
+ return 0
+ '[' 0 = 0 -a 139 = 0 ']'
+ test_failure_ 'fetch revisions from svn' 'git-svn fetch'
++ expr 2 + 1
+ test_count=3
++ expr 0 + 1
+ test_failure=1
+ say 'FAIL 3: fetch revisions from svn'
+ echo '* FAIL 3: fetch revisions from svn'
* FAIL 3: fetch revisions from svn
+ shift
+ echo 'git-svn fetch'
+ sed -e 's/^/  /'
         git-svn fetch
+ test '' = ''
+ echo ''

This began after the 18bece4..99b5a79 update to master. Prior to that 
the svn tests were passing.
