Hello,

I noticed today that git-svn doesn't handle the case where a directory 
isn't under version control in subversion, but you're still within your 
git tree:

doherty@mdd:~/code/libs_shared/t (my-py-2523)$ git svn info
Use of uninitialized value $lc_author in concatenation (.) or string at 
/usr/lib/git-core/git-svn line 1135.
Use of uninitialized value $lc_rev in concatenation (.) or string at 
/usr/lib/git-core/git-svn line 1136.

doherty@mdd:~/code/libs_shared/t (my-py-2523)$ svn ls 
svn://svn.pythian.com/pythian/procter/dispatcher_repo/libs_shared/branches/PY-2523/t
svn: URL 'svn://svn..../libs_shared/branches/PY-2523/t' non-existent in 
that revision
doherty@mdd:~/code/libs_shared/t (my-py-2523)$ svn ls 
svn://svn..../libs_shared/branches/PY-2523
Class/

VERSION

doherty@mdd:~/code/libs_shared/t (my-py-2523)$ git --version
git version 1.7.0.4

I expected git to report that the directory (t) was not under version 
control, as svn did.

Thanks,
-Mike Doherty
