Bad URL passed to RA layer ('https')

Hi, list.

Googled and searched the list on this problem. No luck...

------------------8<----------------------- $ git svn clone https://host/svn/myrepo Initialized empty Git repository in /tmp/myrepo/.git/ Bad URL passed to RA layer: Unrecognized URL scheme for 'https://host/svn/myrepo' at /usr/libexec/git-core/git-svn line 1770 ------------------8<-----------------------

Could not clone from a repository. Although if I issue 'svn checkout https://host/svn/myrepo' it will work, so it seems that the problem is connected with git. Cannot check if this happens only with 'https', sorry.

versions used:

------------------8<----------------------- $ git --version git version 1.7.1

$ svn --version
svn, version 1.6.11 (r934486)
