I am seeing the following output while converting a subversion repo to git.
>Found possible branch point: <repo-url>/trunk =>
<repo-url>/branches/CMT_PHASE3, 18441
> fatal: Not a valid object name refs/remotes/BlueSimViewer 5.0 20110316 Branch
> cat-file commit refs/remotes/BlueSimViewer 5.0 20110316 Branch: command returned error: 128
The command I am running to convert the repo is
> git svn clone <repo-url> -A authors-transform.txt --stdlayout bluebox-git > svnlist
I am running git version 1.8.1.1 on an Ubuntu 12.10 server. I am happy
to provide any other information that would be helpful.
I appreciate any assistance you can provide in this matter,
-Tim

git-svn should cope with funky branch names. What is the exact name of
the "CMT..." and "BlueSimViewer..." branches? Are you using a case
challenged file system or just some standard linux fs?

Just to be sure, not to doubt you: the svn branch name is
"BlueSimViewer5.0_20110316_Branch" and thus differs from the name
reported by git-svn? Are there maybe unprintable characters/control
codes or something in the svn branch name?
Somehow, git-svn is using an improper refname.
