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
Comm         


        

Answer 1

I had the same problem and solved it by reverting to git-svn 1.7.5.1 (svn 1.7.10).

Not sure but I think the problem is that the repository was cloned with the previous version of svn (1.7.xxx) and for some reason the new version (1.8.0) cannot handle it correctly.
