This is the only svn server I use with git-svn with, so I don't know if this 
would happen on other servers.
About "strange hooks"...there is a pre-commit hook verifying that the 
svn:eolstyle is set properly on text files, but since git > 1.6.0 can do 
"autoproperties" like svn that has never failed for me. Then there is a post-
commit hook which sends out a commit mail and scans the commit message for 
certain commands which trigger the software to be built.

Since that other post I linked was related to the "authors" file, I added a 
text file which maps all the svn users to git users, and that works (I can see 
the assigned names instead of the svn names for commits that aren't broken), 
but it hasn't helped reduce/eliminate the frequency of broken commits.

I am using the SVN perl bindings that came with my distribution (ubuntu), the 
version string reads: 1.5.1dfsg1-1ubuntu2, might this be the problem?
