git svn clone died of signal 11 under cygwin

Question

I have a problem with git svn under cygwin

user@comp /cygdrive/c/repositories/git/repo $git svn clone --username=username "https://host/svn/repos/repo" .
Initialized empty Git repository in /cygdrive/c/repositories/git/repo/.git/
error: git-svn died of signal 11

How to handle this?

user@comp ~ $svn --version
svn, version 1.6.15 (r1038135)

user@comp ~ $git --version
git version 1.7.4

Answer 1

I found a good tip here:
http://pwizardry.com/devlog/index.cgi/2010/03/29#svn2git

If you cd to the new repository and type
git svn fetch
it will continue where it left of.

I had the same issue, and the solution seems to work for me.

Answer 2

I was figth with this problem for a 5 hours. I was trying to use git from cygwin. But unfortunatly... This hucking

git-svn died signal 11

while trying to do

git svn clone http://repo.com/path/to/my/repo.git -s

really pissed me of... Addition i doing it after work being on my work place... :) We are used proxy to connect to svn repo from our network. I was tried rebaseall... Serf internet for solving the problem... But unfortunately unlucky(Не фортануло не повезло...)...

So i decide that, i hucking, solve this problemm off!

I go to wokr in my holyday and do this:

• Remove git package from my cygwin.
• Remove any another git installation from my windows environment (like tortoisegit)
• Download and install msysgit (http://msysgit.github.io/)
• Install it.
• Configure git to use proxy as below.
• Run cmd.
• execute git config --global http.proxy http://my.proxy.com:8080

• Now we need to configure svn to use proxy when you run git svn clone. Or else you will get this error:

  RA layer request failed: PROPFIND request failed on '/svn/repos/my-project': PROPFIND of '/svn/repos/my-project': could not connect to server (https://my.svn.repository.behinde.proxy.com) at /usr/lib/perl5/site_perl/Git/SVN.pm line 310    
  

And this is some tricky. For it we need to edit /.subversion/servers in home folder. Not %appdata%\.subversion\servers , not c:\users\userlogin\.subversion\servers no! You need do next:

• run git bash (that you have after installing msysGit) from

  "Start" -> all programms -> git -> Git bash.`
  

this is a link that point to "C:\Program Files (x86)\Git\bin\sh.exe" --login -i in my case

• Now you need execute "cd" command.

• Now do

  ls -al
  

  look for .subversion folder

• And now edit file under this folder vi .subversion/servers you need to find section [groups] and add your server to what you want to made proxy connection for example:

  [groups]
      myserver = www.some.server.com
  

• Now in same file add strings like this:

  [myserver]
      http-proxy-host = http[or https]://[login:password_to_proxy@]my.proxy.com
      http-proxy-port = 8080your proxy port
  

for example:

    [myserver]
        http-proxy-host = http://my.proxy.com
        http-proxy-port = 8080

now you are configure all you need (i hope :) ) And now you may run cmd and make git svn clone https://your.repository.com/path/to/repo -s

And work with svn using git svn for your pleasure. :)
