It does not do anything Git-related by itself, but calls out to plain git executable to perform each of its actions. It even has two distribution packages (.MSI) -- one includuding Git for Windows installer and another one which doesn't. This (and the error message indeed) mean that GitExtensions itself has nothing to do with this error as this error comes from one specific component of Git -- its Subversion protocol glue called git-svn [1]. So in order to debug this further you have to do several things: 1) Forget about GitExtensions for now and work with plain Git. 2) This requires working in the command shell (cmd.exe) or another shell substitute (PowerShell, Console2 or whatever else). Now drop into the command shell, `cd` to some convenient directory and run git svn clone URL_OF_YOUR_SVN_REPO there. Now copy the error trace (preferably with as much context as possible) from the console window and post it there. Also copy and paste what running git --version tells to you.
