Package: git-svn
Version: 1:1.6.5-1
Severity: important
git-svn should be available from /usr/bin, or at least from a place available
in a sensible, usual, common $PATH. Moreover, as git svn tries to launch
git-svn, git svn fails when $PATH is not set up with a /usr/lib/git-core
location.

Thanks. Looking over the original report, that makes a lot of sense.
The message actually changed to "error: git-svn died of signal 13" (see
v1.6.5-rc0~86^2~5, run_command: report system call errors instead of
returning error codes) right before the version 1.6.5 used for this
report, so I like to hope the memory of that source of confusion is
gone these days.
Closing, but I'll be happy to revisit this as a documentation bug if
someone is wishing that git-svn lived in /usr/bin and we can help
clear it up.
