Hi,

I regularly run git-svn fetch on some mirrors of svn repositories - which 
works quite well.
But now I started to get this error:

Last successfull git svn fetch:
        M       src/z3c/form/browser/file-testing.txt

All further git svn fetch invocation result in something alike:

svn fetch is always invocated as "git --bare svn fetch".

Git repository is located at:
git://git.anarazel.de/crystal.git
http://git.anarazel.de/git/crystal.git

Original svn repository is located at: 
https://crystal.svn.sourceforge.net/svnroot/crystal

Any idea?

Thanks,

Andres

After repacking the repository the problem is gone. Really rather strange.
