I'm trying to convert an svn repository. But when I run

git svn clone --prefix=file://PATH --sdtlayout URL

the program exist with an error message like

r341 = eaa122678de1d79883f578f3f57b73e31f5d7a6d (file%3A//PATH/tags/ 
NAME)
fatal: refs/remotes/file%3A//PATH/tags/NAME: not a valid SHA1
update-ref refs/heads/master refs/remotes/file%3A//PATH/tags/NAME:  
command returned error: 128

What am I doing wrong?

The revision is the most recent revision on the svn repository.

I use Mac OS X10.5.3, git 1.5.5.4 (from the installer).

Thanks in advance for the helps

Guido
