I'm importing a huge repository using svn-fe and git-fast-import. $ cat repo.svn_dump | svn-fe 'svn+ssh://bjornto@xxxxxxxxxxx/pub/repo/' 3<backchannel | git fast-import --cat-blob-fd=3 3>backchannel git-fast-import crashes with: fatal: Empty path component found in input fast-import: dumping crash report to .git/fast_import_crash_10844 Crashing command: * ls :202791 Where the crashing SVN commit is "svn cp $SVN_ROOT $SVN_ROOT/subdirectory". A Google search led me to: http://git.661346.n2.nabble.com/BUG-fast-import-ls-command-on-commit-root-returns-missing-was-Bug-in-svn-fe-copying-the-root-directo-td7353801.html As far as I understand, this issue is fixed in fast-import, or am I missing something? Is there a way workaround this problem?
