It is unfortunately not possible to provide this Subversion repo to the 
public.

Actually I hoped, that my report raised some memories, because errors with 
this symptom had been examined before and some kind of fix has been added 
(according 
http://stackoverflow.com/questions/25353316/error-with-git-svn-clone) to GIT 
2.4.x. However, it seems there's still an issue even in GIT 
2.5.0 when the svn repo contains empty directories that have to be preserved 
...

Actually I am not sure. I tried to create a little dummy project in a 
Subversion test repository that contains also empty directories which have 
to be preserved ... but the conversion for it works flawlessly. Even if 
those dirs had been nested, renamed, moved and deleted.

Any idea how to proceed?

Cheers,
Jörg
