git-svn dcommit fails because the repository name contains a space

When attemping to git svn dcommit to a repository that has spaces in it's name, I get the following error:

Committing to http://svn.kuluvalley.com/Meet the Expert/trunk ...
http://svn.kuluvalley.com/Meet the Expert/trunk
Filesystem has no item: '/!svn/bc/7397/Meet' path not found at /usr/libexec/git-core/git svn line 592

It looks like git svn doesn't support directories with spaces in them.

Solution

  • I believe the problem with spaces is fixed in Git >= 1.8.0 (See: #786942).

    So you should consider to upgrade it.
