I hope I didn't hijack the thread with an unrelated issue. 2009/3/26 Anton Gyllenberg <anton@xxxxxx>: > I don't know if this is the same issue, but the I get a similar error > on the public twisted-python repository on both windows and linux, > with several different versions and plenty of free disk space.

The contents of the blob is the seemingly totally unrelated LICENSE file that is found at trunk/LICENSE and branches/foom/--omg-optimized/LICENSE. cdefer.pyx does have the md5sum c7ccddd195f132926e20bab573da7ef3. Note that the branch root directory is branches/foom/--omg-optimized (like with the branch name being foom/--omg-optimized), not just branches/foom. Is think git-svn relies on the standard layout being branches directly under the branches/ directory, but I don't see how this would get the paths mixed up like this. Looking at what was done around this commit one finds odd stuff, like deleting directories in trunk and then copying from a previous revision of trunk to under the branch: http://twistedmatrix.com/trac/changeset/13611 I created a local test svn repository and tried to do something similar but git-svn had no problem with my test. This is issue is not critical for me in any way but if somebody wants to look into it I am happy to help out.
