Hi all,
 
I tried to move a repository from SVN to Git, but all my tries - on three
different machines running Windows 7 with the latest patches - failed with the
same reason. I am running the latest version of Git for Windows
1.9.4-preview-20140815. One of my first steps was to clone the repository from
my server into my local file system, which led to the following reproducible
error:
 
Command: git svn clone svn:////jnc
C:\Program Files (x86)\Git\bin\perl.exe: *** unable to remap C:\Program Files
(x86)\Git\bin\libneon-25.dll to same addre ss as parent -- 0x850000
      0 [main] perl.exe" 1608 sync_with_child: child 10460(0x184) died before
initialization with status code 0x1
    748 [main] perl.exe" 1608 sync_with_child: *** child state child loading
dlls C:\Program Files (x86)\Git\bin\perl.exe: *** unable to remap C:\Program
Files (x86)\Git\bin\libsvn_repos-1-0.dll to same  address as parent -- 0x850000
5066339 [main] perl.exe" 1608 sync_with_child: child 13188(0x198) died before
initialization with status code 0x1
5067125 [main] perl.exe" 1608 sync_with_child: *** child state child loading
dlls
 
Same issue when I add parameters for the local path, trunk, branches, etc.
Moving back to Git 1.9.2 for Windows fixed this issue finally. Meanwhile I heard
from a collegue, that the issue also did not appear with 1.9.4 preview 20140611.

Hope this helps. Thanks for your great work!
