That looks like an error thrown from the SVN libraries which git-svn uses. Perhaps contacting SVN developers can help, since it's nothing I've seen before.

I also have no idea about the quality of libsvn, Perl, or git-svn on cygwin or any Windows builds. Would you happen to have a Linux or *BSD machine to try "git svn clone" on?

Thanks
