Hello,

when trying to clone a svn repo with the command-line:

	$ git svn clone -b / http://svn.collab.net/repos/svn/

(that is, each folder in the root of the repo should be considered it's
own branch)
the clone sometimes[1] fails saying:

	ref: 'refs/remotes/' ends with a trailing slash, this is not permitted by git nor Subversion

The offending config is:
[svn-remote "svn"]
        url = http://svn.collab.net/repos/svn
        branches = /*:refs/remotes/*


This used to work in the past; I bisected the bad commit to

commit 6f5748e14cc5bb0a836b649fb8e2d6a5eb166f1d

    svn: allow branches outside of refs/remotes


Thanks in advance.


[1] It does work when the URL has at least 1 folder of depth
(e.g. suffix "trunk" to the above URL).

Its config section is:
[svn-remote "svn"]
        url = http://svn.collab.net/repos/svn
	branches = trunk//*:refs/remotes/*
