git svn fetch: Could not unmemoize function `check_cherry_pick', because it was not memoized to begin with

Question

I'm hitting the following error while running git svn fetch:

Complex regular subexpression recursion limit (32766) exceeded at /usr/share/perl5/vendor_perl/YAML/Loader.pm line 517, <$IN> line 1.
YAML Error: Can't parse double quoted string
   Code: YAML_PARSE_ERR_BAD_DOUBLE
   Line: 2
   Document: 1
 at /usr/share/perl5/vendor_perl/YAML/Loader.pm line 523.

Could not unmemoize function `check_cherry_pick', because it was not memoized to begin with at /usr/share/perl5/vendor_perl/Git/SVN.pm line 1639.
END failed--call queue aborted at /usr/libexec/git-core/git-svn line 49.

Previously something similar happened and solution was git svn reset -r N which is not applicable in this case.

Answer 1

Googling led me to the following solution:

rm -rf .git/svn/.caches
