In fact, I think the problem appears not with undescore characters but spaces in tag and branche names.

Do you think there's a way around this (other than manually renaming tags and branches in the SVN repository)?

  Hi.

  Trying to convert a svn repository to git, I encountered the following
error:

Use of uninitialized value in hash element at /usr/bin/git-svnimport
line 534.

  Line 534 reads:
	my $gitrev = $branches{$srcbranch}{$therev};

  I have installed packages git-core and git-svn on Ubuntu. These
package have versions: "1:1.5.2.5-2-feisty1"

  The tool seems to choke on tags or branches with special characters
(underscore, for instance).


Laurent.
