Hello, Eric

Looks like something nasty here. I also failed to reproduce with such
test, however I definitely was sure, that I modelled it properly.

The typical scenario here is that I'm syncing with external repository
by hands. I tried to replay this with "bad" authors file, but it doesn't
allow me to past through "bad" changeset. And yes, adding new entry to
authors files fixes the problem.

I saw corruption, when git-svn in the next run continues fetch
changesets. As I saw this problem several times with my current setup, I
added some extra backups, so I hope next time I'll catch tree before and
after breakage. Sorry for bothering.

Btw, there is way, how repository can be broken (however, by user only):
after such error 'git fsck' reports dangling trees, and running 'git gc
--prune' will break any future sync.

Anyway, thanks alot.
