I maintain up-to-date Git packages for Ubuntu 8.04, 8.10, and 9.04 at https://launchpad.net/~git-core/+archive/ppa including a git-svn package.

Note that the command you actually need to run is `git svn`, not `git-svn`.

Thanks, I'll take a look at that. If I apt-get install the original git (v1.5.x) from the apt repository, 'git svn' works fine, but when using my own compiled git, I get the following output.

Yes I know that the command is 'git svn', but I followed the syntax as used in the documentation, adding the hyphen followed by the command. If I run 'git svn', I get the following output on my system.

============================== $ git svn Can't locate SVN/Core.pm in @INC (@INC contains: /usr/local/share/perl/5.8.8 /etc/perl /usr/local/lib/perl/5.8.8 /usr/lib/perl5 /usr/share/perl5 /usr/lib/perl/5.8 /usr/share/perl/5.8 /usr/local/lib/site_perl .) at /usr/local/libexec/git-core/git-svn line 29. ==============================

I did some more Google'ing and finally found the answer. All that was missing was libsvn-perl. The following command installed it and solved my problem. :-)

  $ sudo apt-get install libsvn-perl
