> In order to get a checkout that looks the same as the SVN checkout, I
> had to use a command line like:
>
> git-svn clone -T "trunk/ webgoat" https://webgoat.googlecode.com/svn/
>
> Unfortunately, this results in git-svn-id metadata entries in the
> commits that look like:
>
> git-svn-id: https://webgoat.googlecode.com/svn/trunk/ webgoat@2
> 4033779f-a91e-0410-96ef-6bf7bf53c507

> (Should be all on one line). As you can see, the space has made it
> through into the git-svn-id. Which then breaks this pattern match in
> git-svn:extract_metadata:
>
> my ($url, $rev, $uuid) = ($id =~ /^git-svn-id:\s(\S+?)\@(\d+)
> \s([a-f\d\-]+)$/x);

> Unfortunately, hacking it to ignore the space doesn't help either, as I

> Unable to determine upstream SVN information from HEAD history

> If I run "git-svn -n dcommit", however, it does print out a list of
