Public bug reported: I am running git-svn to convert a large repository on Sourceforge. I often get this error:
Use of uninitialized value $u in substitution (s///) at /usr/share/perl5/Git/SVN.pm line 106. Use of uninitialized value $u in concatenation (.) or string at /usr/share/perl5/Git/SVN.pm line 106. Workaround is editing .git/config and deleting all lines with branches and tags in the [svn-remote] section, but I have to do this very often. The error occurs while using the svn2git wrapper (https://github.com/nirvdrum/svn2git) and also while using git svn directly. The error is reported more than once on the svn2git issue tracker on github, on different lines, but I did not find any reference of anyone reporting this upstream to get it fixed, so that is why I am filing this bug. $ lsb_release -rd Description: Ubuntu 14.10 Release: 14.10 $ apt-cache policy git-svn git-svn: Installed: 1:2.1.3-1 Candidate: 1:2.1.3-1 Version table: *** 1:2.1.3-1 0 500 http://be.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ vivid/universe amd64 Packages 100 /var/lib/dpkg/status 1:2.1.0-1 0 990 http://be.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ utopic/universe amd64 Packages 1:1.9.1-1 0 500 http://be.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ trusty/universe amd64 Packages 1:1.8.3.2-1 0 500 http://be.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ saucy/universe amd64 Packages What I expect to happen: git-svn initalizes value $u before it gets used.
