Hello guys,

we have to turn some projects managed by Subversion into a GIT-based=20
solution. However the conversion unfortunately fails with an error:

=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D %< =3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=

$ git --version
git version 2.5.0
=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D %< =3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=
=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D

Apart from the line number, the same error occurs also with GIT version=
=20
2.4.6 and 2.3.6 (latest stable version in Gentoo).

The command to create the GIT repository was:
=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D %< =3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=
=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D
$ git svn clone http://websvn/svn/essvn/standard/java-commons/lang -s -=
-no-
metadata --preserve-empty-dirs -A ~/tmp/authors.txt commons-lang
=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D %< =3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=
=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D

Note, that the command succeeds even for 2.4.6 if we drop the --preserv=
e-
empty-dirs option - at the cost of some empty directories which are use=
d to=20
trigger profiles for Maven; i.e. without those we cannot reproduce rele=
ased=20
versions.

Cheers,
