git svn clone failed

What did you do before the bug happened? (Steps to reproduce your issue)

- I was migrating an SVN repository to Git using:
git svn clone <my-svn-repo> --stdlayout --authors-file=C:\path\to\my-authors-file.txt  --preserve-empty-dirs .

What did you expect to happen? (Expected behavior)

- I expect the entire process to succeed without errors.
When unavoidable errors do happen, I expect the error message to be helpful, give a clear description of what the underlying problem is, and how to solve it.

What happened instead? (Actual behavior)

- The migration failed with the folowwing error:

r2814 = 1ecf20e2d14b45ee517b56f5f51b406801e9869b (refs/remotes/origin/trunk)

What's different between what you expected and what actually happened?

- The process failed instead of succeeding, and the error was incredibly unhelpful, and seems like a bug in Git.pm.

Anything else you want to add:

Before this happened, another error happened first, which may or may not be related:

r1126 = 9d5f073cfcac00b9d8586923da4d045699244749 (refs/remotes/origin/trunk) Failed to strip path 'src/Lijsten/.gitignore' ((?^:^trunk(/|$)))

This also is not a very helpful error, as it gives no indication of *why* it failed to 'strip the path' (strip it of what, anyway?), nor why it failed on this particular commit.

Restarting the process by rerunning the same 'git svn clone' command seemed to 'fix' the problem by just continuing the process (which begs the question why the process aborted itself in the first place. Couldn't it just have continued?)
