Re: Delivery Status Notification (Failure)

Since recent weekend I face an error trying to execute git svn fetch -q. trying to build an index from scratch does not help.

$ git svn fetch
error: short read No such file or directory
fatal: Unable to add (null) to database
   at /usr/lib64/perl5/SVN/Ra.pm line 623

$ git --version git version 1.7.2

$ svn --version svn, version 1.6.9 (r901367)

$ sqlite3 --version 3.6.22

$ perl --version This is perl, v5.10.1 (*) built for x86_64-linux-thread-multi

$ uname -a Linux host 2.6.33.6-147.fc13.x86_64 #1 SMP Tue Jul 6 22:32:17 UTC 2010 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux

yum says git-1.7.2-1.fc13.x86_64 subversion-1.6.9-2.fc13.x86_64 sqlite-3.6.22-1.fc13.x86_64 perl-5.10.1-114.fc13.x86_64

The error points me to perl5/SVN/Ra.pm line 623 which is at the lat line in
our $AUTOLOAD;
sub AUTOLOAD {
    my $class = ref($_[0]);
    $AUTOLOAD =~ s/^${class}::(SUPER::)?//;
    return if $AUTOLOAD =~ m/^[A-Z]/;

    my $self = shift;
    no strict 'refs';

    print $self, "\n";
    print $AUTOLOAD, "\n";
    print @_, "\n\n";

    my $method = $self->can("invoke_$AUTOLOAD")
        or die "no such method $AUTOLOAD";

    no warnings 'uninitialized';
    $method->(@$self, @_);
}

The 3 print-debug lines are added by me and they emits the following: $ git svn fetch SVN::Ra::Reporter=ARRAY(0x2b04418) set_path Use of uninitialized value $_[3] in print at /usr/lib64/perl5/SVN/Ra.pm line 621. 721210SVN::Pool=REF(0x2b04130)

Unfortunately I have been unable to debug this further.

Git works flawlessly in this setup with another branch of the same SVN repository but I have not been able to pinpoint which revision or what else that can be wrong here.

Is this error introduced with the recent release of Git? Is there some mismatch between Git, Svn, Perl, or Sqlite?

Grateful for tips or hints.
