I don't know what this is supposed to mean.
It also doesn't sound like you should be bothering any environment variables.

"X doesn't seem to work" is not a good description of a problem. "I tried X and expected Y but got Z" is how you should describe your problems, with verbatim but concise cut/paste of X and Z input and output.

As an example, did you try:
git svn clone /master/svn /working/svn
i.e., the first line under "Basic Examples" in the git svn manual page?

Backing up a step, though, the point of what you're doing is unclear. Why bother with /master/svn, rather than just cloning the remote repo?
