Hi, i'm trying to "git svn fetch" my repository from a local file:/// repo and i'm running into this problem:

$ git svn init -t tags -b branches -T trunk file:///path/to/svn/repo $ git svn fetch branches/rails/rails/vendor/plugins/acts_as_xapian/.git/refs/heads/master was not found in commit a643e882c557593f36bb9fd0966490010b9dba61 (r10576)

I found another report that seems to describe the same error: http://marc.info/?l=git&m=121537767308135&w=2 Investigating the the history it's committed in r10577 and it's looking for it in r10576, so it seems to be off by one revision number. Exactly like the other report. I've tried the latest git version of git-svn.perl and the problem is not fixed there.

$ svn log file:///path/to/repo -r10576:10577 -v

I did some digging in the perl script and managed to generate this stack trace, it shows that gs_do_update is called with $rev_a=10576 and $rev_b=10577, the file is in $rev_b but it complains it's not found in $rev_a.

I'm not sure whether this is correct behavior or not and I'm not familiar with SVN::Ra::Reporter... so some help would be appreciated.

Thanks, Morgan
