Hello dear git list!

The following information was submitted to me by Frederik and is forwarded to
the list, because he's no mail access right now:

Using "git-svn dcommit", files or folders named ".svn" can be committed to the Subversion repository.
This breaks the SVN repo - e.g. "svn update" results in the following error:
    svn: Failed to add directory '.svn': object of the same name already exists

Ideally, the SVN server would reject such a commit.
However, if I interpret the following issues correctly, Subversion doesn't want to handle this server-side:
    http://subversion.tigris.org/issues/show_bug.cgi?id=1068
    (also: http://subversion.tigris.org/issues/show_bug.cgi?id=1065)

Since this is potentially a very critical issue, I suggest git-svn dcommit check and filter for such occurrences.
Alternatively, a prominent warning could be added to the relevant git-svn commands.


Details:
    git version 1.5.4.3
    svn version 1.4.6 (r28521)
    Plattform: Ubuntu 8.04 Hardy Heron
