HI:
   I have problem when use git svn fetch command to
retrieve the GCC source code.
It says index mismatch, then  abort,  any suggestion?

  
$git svn fetch

ad0a82bae: git-svn: Always create a new RA when calling do_switch for svn://

According to the commit message, that fixed a problem that caused the
"Malformed netword data" error. It's in git v1.6.0.3, so if you have an
older git version, try upgrading.
