It turns out this is not so much about general escaping but about the
treatment of so called svn PEG revisions (not so unsimilar to our @{}).

svn r954995 integrated r952973 (which implemented the eating of PEG
revisions) into the 1.6.x branch. It's considered a bug fix.

This "fix" is in 1.6.12 but not in 1.6.11.

Now, git-svn adjusts its behaviour to the svn version for things like
info. But I don't know if it's worth doing in this case - maybe we
should just change the test not to use the PEG revisions identifier "@".
