More details:
The previous commands were (I am using svn2git):

git svn init --prefix=svn/ --username=chris --no-metadata --trunk=trunk --tags=tags --branches=branches http://our_server/svn/FL/trunk/ git config --local svn.authorsfile authors_file

The process failed before using http://our_server/svn/FL (instead of http://our_server/svn/FL/trunk)

We are not sure but it is very likely that on SVN we did a SVN copy, then and SVN delete and again an SVN copy on the same folder. I hope this help.

Best,
