it's part of a sequence of problems you can find on groups.google.com/d/topic/git-users/kfMFZ3uEFsM/discussion windows 7 64 bit Git version 1.8.0 git bash and git gui installed and using using subversion TortoiseSVN 1.7.11 Subversion 1.7.8 Was typically always up-to-date (within 2 months or so) with previous versions using an external subversion provider for storing the information externally. guess the version there is older but do not know I have dumped the content of an external subversion repos and created a local repos with aforementioned version. when cloning the subversion repos with "git-svn clone" I received this error message: Expected FS format '2'; found format '4' at /usr/lib/perl5/site_perl/Git/SVN.pm line 148 Please let me know if you need more details.Thanks -- 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
