Hmm, but why are you filing at debian? I had the error when i applied the dev code patches on top of 2.1.0, and the error disappeared as soon as I reverted the patches. So it looks like a issue for the upstream developers, rather than distro. Are you saying debian is shipping a dev snapshot of git svn? ``` ## Eric Wong, 2014-10-31 21:42 Subject: Re: [PATCH v2] git-svn: use SVN::Ra::get_dir2 when possible Message-ID: <20141031214217.GA15591@dcvr.yhbt.net> URL: https://gitlist.dev/e/20141031214217.GA15591%40dcvr.yhbt.net In-Reply-To: <1414789740.30576.BPMail_high_carrier@web172302.mail.ir2.yahoo.com> ``` Hin-Tak Leung wrote: > On Fri, Oct 31, 2014 19:08 GMT Eric Wong wrote: > >Filed a bug in Debian since I hit it in sid, too: > >http://bugs.debian.org/767530 > > > >Thanks all. > > Hmm, but why are you filing at debian?

I don't track SVN upstream development, so haven't checked if it affects newer SVN, yet. It is the distro maintainer's job to get this resolved. This bug affects existing cases of "git svn show-ignore", we just happened to find it with "git svn fetch", first. Debian's bug tracker also has the lowest barrier to entry: no login/registration is necessary (just like this git list). If you want to handle this with upstream directly, please do. I try to avoid logins/accounts as much as possible. ```
