The problem is as follow:
1. git svn fetch
2.
Found possible branch point: https://xxx/svn/xxx/branches/11-07 D t-m
=> https://xxx/svn/xxx/branches/11-09 S t-m, 4332
fatal: Not a valid object name refs/remotes/1-11 M R 2.6
cat-file commit refs/remotes/1-11 M R 2.6: command returned error: 128

I'm using git version 1.7.9.5 on Ubuntu 12.04

I've tried to create the tag manually, but it's not allowed. $ git tag "11-07 D t-m" remotes/11-07%20D fatal: '11-07 D t-m' is not a valid tag name.

As workaround I've tried:
- to create or rename tag manually as suggested here:
http://stackoverflow.com/questions/11365317/git-svn-clone-fails-fatal-not-a-valid-object-name/11559472#11559472
- http://qa.celogeek.com/programming/versionning/git/svn/rebase_with_bad_object_after_rm
But without success.

There is also bug report on lunchpad: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/git/+bug/786942 strace log: [pid 30618] access(".git/config", R_OK) = 0 [pid 30618] open(".git/config", O_RDONLY) = 3 [pid 30618] fstat(3, {st_mode=S_IFREG|0664, st_size=551, ...}) = 0 [pid 30618] mmap(NULL, 4096, PROT_READ|PROT_WRITE, MAP_PRIVATE|MAP_ANONYMOUS, -1, 0) = 0x7f2ed01e9000 [pid 30618] read(3, "[core]\n\trepositoryformatversion "..., 4096) = 551 [pid 30618] read(3, "", 4096) = 0 [pid 30618] close(3) = 0 [pid 30618] munmap(0x7f2ed01e9000, 4096) = 0 [pid 30618] write(2, "fatal: Not a valid object name r"..., 76fatal: Not a valid object name refs/remotes/1-11 M R 2.6 ) = 76 [pid 30618] exit_group(128) = ?
