git-svn 1.7.0.4 doesn't report that a directory isn't under version control

Hello,

I noticed today that git-svn doesn't handle the case where a directory isn't under version control in subversion, but you're still within your git tree:

doherty@mdd:~/code/libs_shared/t (my-py-2523)$ git svn info
Use of uninitialized value $lc_author in concatenation (.) or string at /usr/lib/git-core/git-svn line 1135. Use of uninitialized value $lc_rev in concatenation (.) or string at /usr/lib/git-core/git-svn line 1136.

svn: URL 'svn://svn..../libs_shared/branches/PY-2523/t' non-existent in that revision doherty@mdd:~/code/libs_shared/t (my-py-2523)$ svn ls svn://svn..../libs_shared/branches/PY-2523

git version 1.7.0.4

I expected git to report that the directory (t) was not under version control, as svn did.

Thanks,
