Hi! I suspect I may have found a problem in the way git-svn uses SVN::Core that leads to a segmentation fault. That's a hypothesis based on the following incomplete findings: git version 1.8.3.2.50.g531c8dd (from recent git maint) svn, version 1.7.10 (r1485443) (from openSUSE 12.2) subversion-perl-1.7.10-4.16.1.x86_64 (from openSUSE 12.2) ,----[ ~/.subversion/config ] [auth] password-stores = kwallet store-passwords = yes store-ssl-client-cert-pp = yes `---- ~/.subversion/servers is set up to use a pkcs12 certificate for certain projects. Unfortunately I'm not the administrator of the box, so I'd have to ask the system administrator to install the debug packages for me if you need a useful gdb backtrace. Maybe the following information helps, if not, I'll see what I can do to provide a meaningful gdb backtrace. In a git-svn checkout of such a project: ,----[ redacted ] > perl -d:Trace ~/anon-vc/git/git-svn rebase 2>&1|tail >> /usr/lib/perl5/5.16.0/File/Temp.pm:895: @{ $dirs_to_unlink{$$} } : () ); >> /usr/lib/perl5/5.16.0/File/Temp.pm:896: foreach my $dir (@dirs) { >> /usr/lib/perl5/5.16.0/File/Temp.pm:908: @{ $files_to_unlink{$$} } = () >> /usr/lib/perl5/5.16.0/File/Temp.pm:910: @{ $dirs_to_unlink{$$} } = () >> /home/user/local/stow/git/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.16.0/Git/SVN.pm:1659: unmemoize_svn_mergeinfo_functions(); >> /home/user/local/stow/git/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.16.0/Git/SVN.pm:1626: return if not $memoized; >> /home/user/local/stow/git/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.16.0/Git/SVN.pm:85: unlink keys %LOCKFILES if %LOCKFILES; >> /home/user/local/stow/git/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.16.0/Git/SVN.pm:86: unlink keys %INDEX_FILES if %INDEX_FILES; >> /usr/lib/perl5/vendor_perl/5.16.0/x86_64-linux-thread-multi/SVN/Core.pm:390: $globaldestroy = 1; >> /usr/lib/perl5/vendor_perl/5.16.0/x86_64-linux-thread-multi/SVN/Core.pm:58: SVN::_Core::apr_terminate(); [1] 1631 segmentation fault (core dumped) perl -d:Trace ~/anon-vc/git/git-svn rebase 2>&1 | 1632 done tail `---- (The segfault will also occur after git svn clone.)
