I've spent a while looking at this, and unfortunately it can only
really be 'solved' by validation/checking of the repositories... which
is not a change that I'm happy to put in 1.8.

I've committed a 'fix' to what will soon become 1.8.1. I'd appreciate
some testing of it, but it works around the problem for me. It won't
fix a similar problem happening with old subversion repositories, but
that does require a more invasive fix.

cheers,
