Still getting the same results.  I tried:

1) cmd.exe with my local temp dir:
 c:\temp> TEMPDIR=%TEMP%
 c:\temp> git svn clone "file:///x:/path/to/repo/trunk/utils/project1"

2) cmd.exe with the windows temp dir as you specify:
 c:\temp> TEMPDIR=c:\windows\temp
 c:\temp> git svn clone "file:///x:/path/to/repo/trunk/utils/project1"

3) git's bash.exe with inline variable definition:
 $ TEMPDIR=c:/Windows/Temp git svn clone "file:///x:/path/to/repo/trunk/utils/project1"

4) git's bash.exe with exported variable:
 $ export TEMPDIR=c:/Windows/Temp
 $ git svn clone "file:///x:/path/to/repo/trunk/utils/project1"

All of them died with the complaint about "/tmp/report.tmp"

Thanks for the suggestion though.  At least we've determined one
thing that *isn't* the issue ;-)
