git svn failed on me with the following error while cloning an SVN repository: r1216 = fcf69d5102378ee41217d60384b96549bf2173cb (refs/remotes/svn/trunk) Found possible branch point: svn+ssh://<repositoryName>@<IP address>/trunk => svn+ssh://<repositoryName>@<IP address>/tags/xxxx_2008-10-22, 1216 Use of uninitialized value $u in substitution (s///) at /usr/local/Cellar/git/1.8.0/lib/Git/SVN.pm line 106. Use of uninitialized value $u in concatenation (.) or string at /usr/local/Cellar/git/1.8.0/lib/Git/SVN.pm line 106. refs/remotes/svn/asset-manager-redesign: 'svn+ssh://<IP address>' not found in ''

I'm running git 1.8.0 via Homebrew on OS X. It was called via svn2git but I doubt that this is the culprit. A colleague of mine was able to perform the same operation with git 1.7.x (not sure which) on Debian so I assume that this is a regression.

I just wanted to let you know.

Cheers, Joern.

If you have time and can reproduce the bug at will, it would be very helpful to use "git-bisect" to pinpoint the exact commit that causes the breakage.

I just encountered the exact same issue while converting an svn repo to git on Windows through Git Bash. Same error.
