I'm following the steps in: http://git-scm.com/book/en/v2/Git-and-Other-Systems-Git-as-a-Client
to move an svn repository to git. My local svn version is: $ svn --version svn, version 1.8.10 (r1615264) compiled Aug 25 2014, 10:52:18 on x86_64-apple-darwin12.5.0 When I clone the repository I get an error reading the local file system format: $ git svn clone file:///tmp/test-svn -s Initialized empty Git repository in /private/tmp/test-svn/.git/ Couldn't open a repository: Unable to connect to a repository at URL 'file:///tmp/test-svn': Unable to open an ra_local session to URL: Unable to open repository 'file:///tmp/test-svn': Expected FS format between '1' and '4'; found format '6' at /usr/local/Cellar/git/2.1.0/lib/perl5/site_perl/Git/SVN.pm line 310 According to this svn release note FS format 6 was introduced in svn 1.8: http://subversion.apache.org/docs/release-notes/1.8.html#revprop-packing I also tested this with the latest branch from github and get the same error. Should I downgrade my svn and recreate the local copy of the repository? Or is there a patch for ra_local?
