Hi,

sometimes when I do git-svn fetch I get following:

usage: git merge-base [-a|--all] <commit> <commit>...
   or: git merge-base [-a|--all] --octopus <commit>...
   or: git merge-base --independent <commit>...

    -a, --all             output all common ancestors
    --octopus             find ancestors for a single n-way merge
    --independent         list revs not reachable from others

W: Cannot find common ancestor between  and
