Yep.

Oh, I didn't even notice that. That's a bit weird.

Hmm, if those tests are run (with file://) I'm inclined to leave things
as they are (scratch 3/3)... Though the fact that on my system,
lib-git-svn starts the server but fails to connect isn't overly
comforting. But git-svn is being used less and less. World domination is
almost complete.
