Bug#486527: git-svn: use of uninitialised value in 'dcommit' operation

[Quentin Neill]

I hit this problem (I found
http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=422699 first, then
this bug).

Here's how I reproduced:

Setup an account on a remote system with /bin/false as a login shell:

remote# useradd -s /bin/false blah
remote# passwd blah
...

Try something that tickles the SVN/Core.pm code from the local system:
local# git svn init -Ttrunk svn+ssh://b...@remote/junk
...
