Could it be an incompatibility > with svn-1.5.x? 1.5.4 But I just re-read your original report, and there's some inconsistency: git-svn triggers cat-file's usage message which says "git-cat-file ...". The dash indicates that it is a git cat-file before v1.6.0.1-13-g34baebc (where the dash was removed), so it's definitely not the current maint you think you are using. Do you have older ubuntu git packages installed in $PATH? Michael
