Problems with "git svn clone"

Problems with "git svn clone"

[K Richard Pixley]

I'm trying to create a git-svn repository with:

git svn clone --username=pixleyr --stdlayout --branches branches --branches branches2 svn://mumble.com/mumble/mumble

but the command dies about 11seconds in with:

         A       src/kernel/ppc/2.4.26-pre5-moto-pq3-2004_06_04-0/drivers/usb/serial/belkin_sa.h

         A       src/kernel/ppc/2.4.26-pre5-moto-pq3-2004_06_04-0/drivers/usb/serial/keyspan_usa28_fw.h

error: git-svn died of signal 11

This seems awfully early and blatant for a core dump.  What can I do to
get this running?

Initially discovered on git-2.7.4, (ubuntu-16.04), but also reproduced
on freshly built top of tree git-2.10.1.445.g3cdd5d1.

Can you show us a backtrace?  Thanks.

This could be a problem with the SVN Perl libraries, and should
be fixed in newer versions (not sure if it's made it to distros,
yet):

Seems like it is fixed in latest Debian, maybe it needs to trickle
into Ubuntu: https://bugs.debian.org/780246

There is none.  I ran it in gdb and bt produced no results.  Nor did the
thread send bt command.

Thanks.  I'll try adding that.

You probably need to install the debug package(s) for subversion.
In case it's a different bug, maybe the debug package for Perl, too.

It looks like it (1.9.4-3) has trickled into stretch (testing)
by now:

	https://packages.debian.org/src:subversion

Thank you.

Running on debian stretch/testing it got past the 11 second mark and has
been running for a day now.  I expect it will take days, perhaps longer,
so we'll see.
