I wish I could blame it on my doofus mistype, but I tried the same 4 operations as my previous email, using TMPDIR this time instead of TEMPDIR but got the same errors regarding /tmp/report.tmp. You may also need to export TMPDIR but I don't know how cmd.exe decides what environment variables to export to subprocesses. From my understanding/experimentation, cmd.exe acts as if all environment variables are exported all the time (i.e., there is no such thing as a local non-exported environment variable). Any further ideas to try?

Proper URI for svn clone on a network share (Win32)
I've been sparring with the proper syntax and hope someone can give me the magic I'm missing. I want to do something of the form c:\temp git svn clone file:///x:/path/to/repo/trunk/utils/project1 but get various failures. My best-effort (above) gets me as far as actually starting some sort of clone but it dies with Permission denied: Can't open '/tmp/report.tmp': Permission denied at /usr/lib/perl5/site_perl/Git/SVN.pm line 1210 If it makes any difference, this is within a cmd.exe shell (with $PATH set appropriately so git is being found). Am I missing something in the URL syntax to get it to clone my svn repo with less drama? -tkc PS: I don't really care much about pushing back to svn, existing svn branches or tags, or username mapping. If needed, I can apply patches out of git which is far less painful than switching/merging branches in svn. So I can be a little rough-shod with cloning the svn repo.
