One fix I plan to implement for cscvs is to get all svn communication go through a single session-like object which can retry failed requests.

That should fix those requests that fail transiently due to a load peak on the server. But it might also unintentionally work around this bug with svn.ra.get_dir :(

Ack that, but it appears to happen particularly with svn imports. So although it's not specifically a svn problem, it's still a svn-related problem.

BTW, my svn2bzr branch copied the fix from bzr-svn, before I made it use a customised MinimalTree (from cvsps-import) which also implemented this fix.
