Git SVN Is Unable to Fetch from SVN Repository

Question

I think this is the following issue: http://code.google.com/p/msysgit/issues/detail?id=298

Possible solution is to setup svnserve and use the svn:// protocol instead of file:///

See here for setting up svnserve on Windows:
http://tortoisesvn.net/docs/release/TortoiseSVN_en/tsvn-serversetup-svnserve.html

UPDATE

svnserve is available as a part of TortoiseSVN if you use Windows OS (I checked with TortoiseSVN version 1.8.6)

Then you just start:

svnserve -d -R --root c:\path\to\svn\repo

and clone the repository with following command:

git svn clone svn://localhost/path/inside/svn/repo
