git error cloning svn repository: bad index file sha1 signature

git error cloning svn repository: bad index file sha1 signature

[Saurav Ghosh]

Greetings.

Using cygwin git version 1.6.1.2,  I am unable to clone an existing
svn repository using "git svn".  The entire output is below.  How can
I fix this?

I am running the "git svn" command without actually launching a cygwin
shell like bash etc.  I can checkout other git repositories just fine,
its just git-svn that's having the problem.

Thanks,
Saurav.

Try using the cygwin 1.7 beta and its corresponding newer version of git.
 There have been enough fixes that this may fix your problem, and I no
longer have time to focus on cygwin 1.5 issues.  Also, make sure you are
using a binary mount, not a text mount.
