perl - git svn clone malformed index info error

Question

When I run git svn clone I get the following error :

  0 [main] perl 24432 cygwin_exception::open_stackdumpfile: Dumping stack trace to perl.exe.stackdump
  fatal: malformed index info 100644 362f1c18ceed5d593eb021432545685283a93 

When I open the file I see the following :

Exception: STATUS_ACCESS_VIOLATION at rip=0048360C537 rax=00000006039F81E0 rbx=000000005219E248 rcx=000000060003A3C0 rdx=0000000000000000 rsi=000000000000FDB4 rdi=0000000000000004 r8 =0000000000000000 r9 =0000000000000000 r10=0000000000230000 r11=000000048D785FBA r12=0000000000000003 r13=000006FFFF7FEDB8 r14=00000006014D4030 r15=000006FFFF7FEDD0 rbp=000000000007EDA8 rsp=000000000022BE80 program=C:Program FilesGitusrinperl.exe, pid 24432, thread main cs=0033 ds=002B es=002B fs=0053 gs=002B ss=002B

subversion python bindings documentation?

Unfortunately, I'm not familiar enough for the underlying technologies to figure out exactly what I should be doing. Would could be causing this and how might I be able to resolve?

Answer 1

I got this error while migrating huge svn repository to git using svn2git tool. I added below lines in my .git/config file and it started working:

[core]
    repositoryformatversion = 0
    filemode = false
    bare = false
    logallrefupdates = true
    symlinks = false
    ignorecase = true
    hideDotFiles = dotGitOnly
    packedGitLimit = 256m
    packedGitWindowSize = 256m
    longpaths = true
[http]
    postBuffer = 524288000
[pack]
  deltaCacheSize = 256m
  packSizeLimit = 256m
  windowMemory = 1024m

These settings are explained at the git-config man page.
