Problem with git-svnimport

Problem with git-svnimport

[VAUCHER Laurent]

  Hi.

  Trying to convert a svn repository to git, I encountered the following
error:

Use of uninitialized value in hash element at /usr/bin/git-svnimport
line 534.

  Line 534 reads:
	my $gitrev = $branches{$srcbranch}{$therev};

  I have installed packages git-core and git-svn on Ubuntu. These
package have versions: "1:1.5.2.5-2-feisty1"

  The tool seems to choke on tags or branches with special characters
(underscore, for instance).

In fact, I think the problem appears not with undescore characters but spaces in tag and branche names.

Do you think there's a way around this (other than manually renaming tags and branches in the SVN repository)?

git-svnimport is obsoleted (or mostly so) by git-svn. Look at that, please.

This has been asked before, but I don't think there was a good answer: 
What remaining features does git-svnimport have that git-svn doesn't? It 
would be nice to not have two such tools if one of them doesn't actually 
add any value. Can we safely deprecate git-svnimport in the next release?
