I get different results:

That makes it look like I didn't get a proper copy of the SVN repo.
Since the real repo lives behind a firewall through two ssh hops,
getting what I need may require learning Subversion instead of using
conversion and familiar tools.....

(I need to extract patch sets for three development branches so I can
apply them to a lustre GIT repo.)
