That looks like an error thrown from the SVN libraries which
git-svn uses.  Perhaps contacting SVN developers can help,
since it's nothing I've seen before.

I also have no idea about the quality of libsvn, Perl, or
git-svn on cygwin or any Windows builds.  Would you happen to
have a Linux or *BSD machine to try "git svn clone" on?

Thanks
