Hi there,

I'm trying to clone an existing svn repository with git (just getting  
started with git) and it keeps failing with:
...
r604 = 6428e63734a21ee5fcb4593274747e2758578a91 (git-svn)
fatal: unable to run 'git-svn'

I'm using git version 1.6.2
Mac OS X 10.5.6. git installed via macports with svn support.

Any ideas? How do I find out why it's failing?
Thanks.

with regards,
--
