In particular, the urls passed to git-remote have an extra '/' given after the schema prefix, like so: git remote add svnsim testsvn::sim:///$TEST_DIRECTORY/t9154/svn.dump git remote add svnfile testsvn::file:///$TEST_DIRECTORY/t9154/svn.dump Once the prefix is removed, the remainder of the url looks something like "//home/ramsay/git/t/t9154/svn.dump", which is then interpreted as a network path. Since there is "No such host or network path" called "//home", this leads to the svnrdump_sim.py script to fail: Traceback (most recent call last): File ".../trash directory.t9020-remote-svn/svnrdump", line 51, in ? if writedump(url, r[0], r[1]): ret = 0 File ".../trash directory.t9020-remote-svn/svnrdump", line 23, in writedump f = open(filename, 'r'); IOError: [Errno 13] Permission denied: '//home/ramsay/git/t/t9154/svn.dump' In order to fix the problem, we simply remove the extraneous '/' character from the urls.
