Git-svn has been giving me the following error for some time when calling "git svn dcommit":

RA layer request failed: PROPFIND request failed on '/svn/stf/branches/dev/sw%2Fdpemu%2Finclude%2FNetCnxn.h': PROPFIND of '/svn/stf/branches/dev/sw%2Fdpemu%2Finclude%2FNetCnxn.h': 302 Found (https://oursvnrepo.net) at /usr/local/libexec/git-core/git-svn line 508

This only occurred when git detected a rename or copy.

Following the lead into git-svn.perl, and noticing that some of the '/'s in the path were hex-encoded and some were not, I changed the regex used to find chars to hex-encode in the relative part of the path to exclude '/'. It works, so far. I have included a patch.

Hi Timothy,

Thanks for the bug report and patch, i'll push it out shortly. I'm curious, do you happen to know which version of Subversion the server was running? I'm unable to reproduce the problem, but I wouldn't be surprised if it's only a problem with newere versions. Thanks.
