There we have: rev_a=4090 rev_b=4095 path="" full_url=svn://svn.debian.org/kernel/dists/sid/kernel/linux-2.6 old_url=svn://svn.debian.org/kernel/dists/sid/kernel/linux-2.6 Mmh, these are really heavy commits it seems. The commitlog suggests that trunk was moved there, and websvn dies with ENOMEM when trying to show the diff. I will try to start cloning at a later revision.
