Hello,

I'm trying to convert an SVK repo to git using the steps described here: http://blog.woobling.org/2009/06/git-svn-abandon.html

I'm using the latest devel git from git as the svk reparenting stuff seems to have gotten merged already.

When I used the old code from samv's github (http://github.com/samv/git/tree/svn-merge-attrs) it ran through the clone all the way, but I had a core file in the directory, so I don't really trust the results.

This is the command I'm using and the results: git svn clone --authors-file=sl-authors.txt --branches='http://dev.catalyst.perl.org/repos/bast/branches/DBIx-Class-Schema-Loader/' --tags='http://dev.catalyst.perl.org/repos/bast/DBIx-Class-Schema-Loader/tags/' --trunk='http://dev.catalyst.perl.org/repos/bast/trunk/DBIx-Class-Schema-Loader' 'http://dev.catalyst.perl.org/repos/bast/trunk/DBIx-Class-Schema-Loader' sl Initialized empty Git repository in /home/rkitover/src/git-conversion/sl/.git/ Using higher level of URL: http://dev.catalyst.perl.org/repos/bast/trunk/DBIx-Class-Schema-Loader => http://dev.catalyst.perl.org/repos/bast perl: /tmp/buildd/subversion-1.6.9dfsg/subversion/libsvn_subr/path.c:115: svn_path_join: Assertion `svn_path_is_canonical(component, pool)' failed. error: git-svn died of signal 6

The authors file I'm using is: http://cachemiss.com/files/sl-authors.txt

These svn URLs are for a public repo, so hopefully you can reproduce my results.

Any help much appreciated.
