But I just re-read your original report, and there's some inconsistency:
git-svn triggers cat-file's usage message which says "git-cat-file ...".
The dash indicates that it is a git cat-file before v1.6.0.1-13-g34baebc
(where the dash was removed), so it's definitely not the current maint
you think you are using.
Do you have older ubuntu git packages installed in $PATH?
Bingo! Yes,
~$ which git-cat-file
/usr/bin/git-cat-file
~$ /usr/bin/git version
git version 1.5.6.3
now that's really weird. git from ~/bin is using git-cat-file from
/usr/bin instead of ~/libexec/git-core ... how is the libexec path set
in the PATH during the execution of the script?
If you're executing "git-svn", the "git-svn" found first in your $PATH
will be used. Same with "git" really, so if you have a $PATH like this:
PATH=/usr/bin:$(HOME)/bin
you will always use the git from /usr/bin (naturally).
the funny thing is that Ubuntu wants to have git-core in place if
you're rebuilding kernel packages. I don't need to rebuild my kernel
anymore but I am sure this is an issue for others. What's the trick?
Add the libexec/git-core to the PATH before /usr/bin? Should git
internally append libexec/git-core earlier in the search path?
The possibly easiest solution to your particular problem is to just
remove the files installed by the git-core package and then log out
and back in (to clear any persistent shell cache). You may need to
mark git-core as not updateable in your apt config.
