I use git svn often and normally it works fine.

I getting a fatal error trying to clone the asciimathm svn repo at sourceforge:

$ git svn clone --trunk=trunk --branches=branches http://asciimathml.svn.sourceforge.net/svnroot/asciimathml asciimathml-svn-git
fatal: Not a valid object name
ls-tree -z  ./: command returned error: 128

Anybody seen this kind of problem before.

A svn co works fine.

I'm using git version 1.6.5.1 on mac os 10.5.8.

Hi Stephen,

Passing the "-r4:HEAD" parameter to "git svn clone" should work.  It
looks like the repository was initially miscreated and "trunk" was a
symlink (and not a directory) in r1.

I have not yet thought of a good solution to this, yet...

Thanks Eric, your suggestion worked.

How could you tell the first svn commit was a symlink?
