Description
Source: svn Target: darcs
If the initial load (rev 1) of the svn is empty, the initial darcs add (below) fails, and everything goes downhill from there (each revision is downloaded from svn, but no version gets ever recorded in darcs):
[...]$ darcs add --case-ok --recursive --quiet . darcs failed: No files were added
The workaround I'm using is specify rev 2.

I did a quick test, but either I don't understand the meaning of initial load of svn is empty, or as suggested it was a problem related to wrong repository/module split, that should not happen now that the SvnRepository? checks that repository effectively points to the svn root.

Most probably, you specified the wrong repository, or revision. Using INITIAL should pick the right revision, choosing the first that actually altered the specified module.
Anyway, I'll try to insert a test-case for this.
