There is very small public SVN repo that I'm trying to clone with SVN, and seems to trigger a big in git-svn. Steps to repro, and error message: $ git svn clone -T trunk --ignore-paths releases http://paintweb.googlecode.com/svn paintweb.git r3 = 30548c9192aefcde23337f70542ab59e193a1b9e (trunk) usage: git-cat-file [-t|-s|-e|-p|<type>] <sha1> fatal: unable to run 'git-svn' $ git version git version 1.6.2.4.10.g2254d <== this is maint as of right now The same problem exists with master as of right now (v1.6.3-rc3-12-gb79376c) On a different box it succeeded -- this was a Fedora 9 box, with git from rpms. I did have to drop the '--ignore-paths' paramater though: $ git --version git version 1.6.0.6 any hints as to what could be wrong? The repository is small and pretty vanilla afaics... cheers, martin -- martin.langhoff@xxxxxxxxx martin@xxxxxxxxxx -- School Server Architect - ask interesting questions - don't get distracted with shiny stuff - working code first - http://wiki.laptop.org/go/User:Martinlanghoff -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe git" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
