It looks like that error is coming from git-svn. svn2git ultimately wraps around git-svn, which is some perl script shipped with git proper. Off-hand I'm not sure what that error is related to.
Thanks, I'll ask git-svn folks.

Updating to the latest version of git (from 1.7.5.4 to 1.7.8.4) solved this issue for me.
look this solution http://groups.google.com/group/msysgit/browse_thread/thread/ecc415c113bed8de#
Madden's hack, referenced by @ctapmex, worked for me when importing https://svn.plone.org/svn/collective/buildout/collective.recipe.supervisor/ svn2git (2.2.1)
@ctapmex tip did the trick. thanks!
@ctapmex, it works for me. thanks.
@ctapmex worked for me as well!
@ctapmex and for me too, thanks! Google groups link changed to https://groups.google.com/forum/?fromgroups=#!topic/msysgit/7MQVwRO-2N4
Worked for me as well, exact same failure but at line 106 in /usr/share/perl5/Git/SVN.pm
Seems to work for me as well, at least it doesn't die. This is what needs to be done (though it feels a bit edgy editing git core files...):
Hey guys, I thought maybe I'd have a look at that line 2097 and see if there was anything I could do about it myself. I was able to determine that, in this specific case, the variable $u was not defined (or something). So, without knowing much about what's actually going on there, I changed this:
$u =~ s!^\Q$url\E(/|$)!! or die
"$refname: '$url' not found in '$u'\n";
to this:
if(!$u) {
$u = $pathname;
}else {
$u =~ s!^\Q$url\E(/|$)!! or die
"$refname: '$url' not found in '$u'\n";
}
and then just hoped for the best. So far it seems to be working. I'm getting some "Couldn't fine revmap" messages but I don't know if that's something I should be concerned about. Anyway, I don't know if this is a proper solution but I hope will help in some way.
@mateor I ran into this as well.
@anselmdk thanks for the fix
Like you, I'm not sure whether this is the most appropriate fix to the underlying root cause or not.
I created a fork of git and applied this patch to support some conversions I am doing. I applied the fix to 1.8.2.3 and master.
https://github.com/if6was9/git/commit/364c42061ade26469f47980bf768d625099b866a
I'm going to submit to the patch to the git mailing list and see what they say.
Editing the config file worked for me: http://stackoverflow.com/a/17827367/2613458
In my case, editing the config file makes it work for a bit, then it fails again. The fix posted by anelmdk allows the process to go the whole way.
+1 for anselmdk 's fix
+1 for anselmdk 's fix :)
Why can't this fix make its way upstream ?
@mickaelistria what was the result of you contacting the git-svn people? Who did you contact?
The fix proposed by @anselmdk does not work for me, because I have the error at line 106, see #99
@archibaldovitch I think the reason is because upstream has not been contacted yet, and/or nobody knows who to contact at upstream, and how. Maybe?
As I reported here: https://github.com/nirvdrum/svn2git/issues/66#issuecomment-365207950
Fix for me was making sure I was running svn2git in a genuinely empty directory ("rm -rf .git") if a previous attempt had aborted for some other reason.
Hi,
While giving a try to svn2git on my local machine for JBoss Tools repo - which is quite huge, I got the following error, that I don't understand:
$ /var/lib/gems/1.8/bin/svn2git -v http://anonsvn.jboss.org/repos/jbosstools Running command: git svn init --prefix=svn/ --no-metadata --trunk=trunk --tags=tags --branches=branches http://anonsvn.jboss.org/repos/jbosstools Running command: git svn fetch Found possible branch point: http://anonsvn.jboss.org/repos/jbosstools/trunk => http://anonsvn.jboss.org/repos/jbosstools/branches/jboss, 78 Use of uninitialized value $u in substitution (s///) at /usr/lib/git-core/git-svn line 1728. Use of uninitialized value $u in concatenation (.) or string at /usr/lib/git-core/git-svn line 1728. refs/remotes/svn/trunk: 'http://anonsvn.jboss.org/repos/jbosstools' not found in ''
The first time I run this command, I could see the files being fetched. Now I don't see the fetch occur (probably files are cached), but I always get this issue.
Could someone help me on this?
