git svn dcommit fails because of assertion error "svn_fspath__is_canonical(child_fspath)" (cygwin)

I hope anybody can help me.

When I try to push my local git branch to the svn server this will always result into this error:

$ git svn dcommit
Committing to http://.../Dev_Stream/01_workspace ...
    C      path/to/file/AbstractSystemThread.java => other/path/to/file/Thread/AbstractThread.java
assertion "svn_fspath__is_canonical(child_fspath)" failed: file "/usr/src/subversion/subversion-1.8.0-1/src/subversion-1.8.0/subversion/libsvn_subr/dirent_uri.c", line 2502, function: svn_fspath__skip_ancestor

Preconditions:

clean local git repository (no staged or unstaged changes)
called git svn rebase before

Cygwin installation contains these packages:

git, git-svn 1.7.9-1
subversion, subversion-perl 1.8.0-1

When searching for this problem in the internet, I found several errors like this where a path could not be canonicalized. But I did not find a solution for exactly this problem.

Has anybody an idea how to solve it? Is any information missing?

Solution

I also had this problem (git version 1.8.3) and solved it by downgrading subversion to 1.7.9 (from 1.8.0).
