Git does not mess with the subversion library. It just uses the Subversion
Perl binding. The way it does that for subversion-1.5.0 is the same as it
operates with subversion-1.4.6. And no matter how you call such a binding, I
don't think it should ever make the library behind it crash.

If I knew Perl, I could maybe experiment a bit with writing scripts till it
crashes Subversion, but sadly I don't know Perl. And as it apparently happens
on shutdown (after Git told me there is nothing new / or after it updated), I
doubt I can easily reproduce it, since Git-Svn is not really tiny.

But if you would instead ask me for something specific, i.e. to dig into the
crashed binary using gdb, or to make you a coredump accessible, if that is at
all possible through these bindings, it might help to solve a bug.
