Doesn't this defeat the point of the testcase (checking that git-svn
is able to avoid creating git refs containing @{, following the rules
from git-check-ref-format(1))?

Do you know when SVN truncates the directory name?  Would historical
SVN repositories or historical SVN servers be able to have a directory
named with a %40 in it, or has this been disallowed completely,
leaving problematic historical repositories to be dumped with old SVN,
tweaked, and reloaded with new SVN?

Thanks,
Jonathan
