Hello,

I'm using git version 1.7.2.3 and get the "fatal: refs/remotes/trunk: not a valid SHA1" error while fetching from an svn repository.

$ mkdir test $ cd test $ git svn init -s http://svn.wp-plugins.org/zero-conf-mail $ git svn fetch -r246566

r246566 = 92e8abc50bf56cc1774e0e2688a280bc379a4817 (refs/remotes/tags/0.6.1) fatal: refs/remotes/trunk: not a valid SHA1 update-ref refs/heads/master refs/remotes/trunk: command returned error: 128

The problem seems to be that r246566 was created by a "git svn tag foo" command, fetching r246565 is works just fine. I didn't test if native svn tagging produces the same error but can do this if relevant. It could also be specific to the wordpress svn repository, I haven't tested that either.

Thanks,
Nicolas
P.S. Please CC me as I'm not on the list.
