I was trying to clone a SVN repo, but not having luck:
 > $ git svn clone $PWD/private-lustre-svn $PWD/private-lustre-git
 > perl: subversion/libsvn_subr/dirent_uri.c:321: canonicalize: Assertion `*src != '/'' failed.
 > error: git-svn died of signal 6
What is Perl or Subversion or GIT trying to tell me, please?  Thank you!
