Subject: git svn problem, probably a regression
Message-ID: <36370AA5-4BB9-4D36-95A7-BB3DA315C9E6@googlemail.com>

git svn failed on me with the following error while cloning an SVN repository:
r1216 = fcf69d5102378ee41217d60384b96549bf2173cb (refs/remotes/svn/trunk)

I'm running git 1.8.0 via Homebrew on OS X. It was called via svn2git but I doubt that this is the culprit.
A colleague of mine was able to perform the same operation with git 1.7.x (not sure which) on Debian so I assume that this is a regression.

I just wanted to let you know.

Cheers,
Joern.
