git svn dcommit fails because of assertion error “svn_fspath__is_canonical(child_fspath)” (cygwin)

Question

I hope anybody can help me.

When I try to push my local git branch to the svn server this will always result into this error:

$ git svn dcommit

An easy way to install patched version of git-svn from github:

1. Find the buggy script:

   find /usr -name Editor.pm
   

2. Replace it with patched version:

   cd /usr/lib/perl5/vendor_perl/5.18.1/Git/SVN
   mv Editor.pm Editor.pm.bak
   wget https://raw.github.com/git/git/2394e94e831991348688831a384b088a424c7ace/perl/Git/SVN/Editor.pm
