it's part of a sequence of problems you can find on
groups.google.com/d/topic/git-users/kfMFZ3uEFsM/discussion

windows 7 64 bit
Git version 1.8.0
git bash and git gui installed and using

using subversion
TortoiseSVN 1.7.11
Subversion 1.7.8
Was typically always up-to-date (within 2 months or so) with previous versions

using an external subversion provider for storing the information
externally. guess the version there is older but do not know

I have dumped the content of an external subversion repos and created
a local repos with aforementioned version.
when cloning the subversion repos with "git-svn clone" I received this
error message:
 Expected FS format '2'; found format '4' at
/usr/lib/perl5/site_perl/Git/SVN.pm line 148

Please let me know if you need more details.Thanks

```

This isn't a problem with Git itself, but with Git for Windows not
having an up-to-date build of libsvn.
