I am running git-svn to convert a large repository on Sourceforge. I often get this error:
Use of uninitialized value $u in substitution (s///) at /usr/share/perl5/Git/SVN.pm line 106.
Use of uninitialized value $u in concatenation (.) or string at /usr/share/perl5/Git/SVN.pm line 106.
Workaround is editing .git/config and deleting all lines with branches and tags in the [svn-remote] section, but I have to do this very often.
The error occurs while using the svn2git wrapper (https://github.com/nirvdrum/svn2git) and also while using git svn directly. The error is reported more than once on the svn2git issue tracker on github, on different lines, but I did not find any reference of anyone reporting this upstream to get it fixed, so that is why I am filing this bug.
What I expect to happen: git-svn initalizes value $u before it gets used.
I searched for "Use of uninitialized value $u in substitution (s///) at /usr/share/perl5/Git/SVN.pm line 106." on Launchpad and Askubuntu, but did not find any previous reports of this issue.
