While I had subversion-1.5.2 installed, git svn rebase ended with a 'segmentation fault' error. Now back at subversion-1.4.6, git repositories with svn remotes updated during the aforentioned upgrade now give an error: (master) $ git svn fetch Bad URL passed to RA layer: Unrecognized URL scheme for 'http://code.djangoproject.com/svn' at /usr/libexec/git-core/git-svn line 1400 (master) $ git svn rebase Bad URL passed to RA layer: Unrecognized URL scheme for 'http://code.djangoproject.com/svn' at /usr/libexec/git-core/git-svn line 1909 Others which were not updated recently work fine for git svn operations. How can I repair the affected git repositories? Thanks. ``` ## Mikael Magnusson, 2008-10-05 19:44 Subject: Re: git svn: Bad URL passed to RA layer: Unrecognized URL scheme Message-ID: <237967ef0810051244m51156925x26ae51db038dad49@mail.gmail.com> URL: https://gitlist.dev/e/237967ef0810051244m51156925x26ae51db038dad49%40mail.gmail.com In-Reply-To: ``` 2008/10/5 Jeff Kowalczyk : > I made an ill-advised upgrade to from subversion-1.4.6 to > subversion-1.5.2.

That somehow looks more like an svn error than a git error, does svn checkout http://code.djangoproject.com/svn work? -- Mikael Magnusson ``` ## Jeff Kowalczyk, 2008-10-06 02:28 Subject: Re: git svn: Bad URL passed to RA layer: Unrecognized URL scheme Message-ID: URL: https://gitlist.dev/e/pan.2008.10.06.02.28.35.643705%40yahoo.com In-Reply-To: <237967ef0810051244m51156925x26ae51db038dad49@mail.gmail.com> ``` Mikael Magnusson wrote: > That somehow looks more like an svn error than a git error, does > svn checkout http://code.djangoproject.com/svn work? You were correct, I tried subversion and got the same error. I rebuilt (gentoo ~x86) neon-0.28.3, subversion-1.5.2 and git-1.6.0.2, and have functional git svn operations. However, each operation ends with a segmentation fault. This is the case with all git svn repositories (e.g. several different svn remote hosts). (master) $ git svn rebase M django/core/management/commands/makemessages.py M docs/topics/i18n.txt r9155 = 4c86e60f62366ac9c3fd9369c17c54801a8f2ea0 (trunk) First, rewinding head to replay your work on top of it... Fast-forwarded master to refs/remotes/trunk. Segmentation fault Does the segfault risk corruption of the git repository data? Would I report this as a git bug or distribution bug? Thanks. ``` ## Thomas Rast, 2008-10-06 09:47 Subject: Re: git svn: Bad URL passed to RA layer: Unrecognized URL scheme Message-ID: <200810061147.28986.trast@student.ethz.ch> URL: https://gitlist.dev/e/200810061147.28986.trast%40student.ethz.ch In-Reply-To: ``` Jeff Kowalczyk wrote: > However, each operation ends with a segmentation fault.
