git-svn bug: Output git directory has uncommitted changes

[Daniel Marschall <info@daniel-marschall.de>]

Hello,

I have found following bug in the latest version of git-svn . I have 
this issue with the old version shipped in Debian stable, as well as 
with the latest version built from source.


What did you do before the bug happened? (Steps to reproduce your issue)

Extract the following SVN repository to GIT: 
https://svn.viathinksoft.com/svn/filter_foundry/
The bug ONLY happens with this single SVN repository. All other SVN 
repositories from my server work perfectly.

$ PERL5LIB=perl/ ./git-svn --authors-file="../../authors.txt" clone 
--trunk="trunk" "https://svn.viathinksoft.com/svn/filter_foundry/" 
"_test"
$ cd _test
$ git status

What did you expect to happen? (Expected behavior)

git status should show that nothing needs to be commited.

What happened instead? (Actual behavior)

You get a long list of files which need to be committed. The list is 
sometimes longer and sometimes shorter. So, the behavior is not 
deterministic. I have the feeling that the list often contains all files 
in the repo.

Anything else you want to add:

This SVN repository was cloned from a foreign server to my own server, 
and then continued there. I think this SVN repository has some specific 
properties that cause the bugs.
