  git-svn init file:///usr/local/src/tst-git-svn/svn-uboot-repo/

  git-svn fetch yields lots of:

....

seems to work though.

git version - 1.5.1.3

Probably/hopefully harmless.  Although I would like to know what's
causing it, though...  Are git-svn-id: lines generated correctly
in your commit messages?

Well, can't tell since I can't commit.
This is whats I did(from http://utsl.gen.nz/talks/git-svn/intro.html#howto-track )
git clone -l /usr/local/src/tm-uboot/u-boot my-uboot2.clone
git-config --add remote.origin.fetch '+refs/remotes/*:refs/remotes/*'
git-svn init file:///usr/local/src/tst-git-svn/svn-uboot-repo/trunk
git-svn fetch

The /usr/local/src/tm-uboot/u-boot is a repo that is using git-svn and I wan't
to clone it.

git svn fetch ended with:

Last fetched revision of refs/remotes/git-svn was r76, but we are about to fetch: r1!

If I try to commit I get:
git svn dcommit
Unable to determine upstream SVN information from HEAD history

Note: the file:///usr/local/src/tst-git-svn/svn-uboot-repo/trunk is a local
copy of the real subversion repo.
