git-svn died of signal 10 on Mac OS X

Question

I have git and git-svn installed via Fink. I try to do the following:

$ git svn init http://myserver/myrepo
Initialized empty Git repository in checkout/.git/
$ git svn fetch
error: git-svn died of signal 10

Why is git-svn failing? How can I fix this? I have the repo already checked out via vanilla SVN, so there shouldn't be any access or permissions issues.

Answer 1

Might not be the only issue but to fetch the svn data you need to be in a git controlled directory. So cd checkout before the fetch.
