title: How do I fix the issue that causes svn2git to fail with "no associated commit metadata"?
body: <p>I am attempting to convert a remote Subversion repository to git on my local Windows machine. I installed ruby, svn2git, and then created a file called <code>authors.txt</code> for converting the associated committers.</p>
  
  <p>When I run the command <code>svn2git my://repo/url --authors authors.txt</code>, I get the error: </p>
  
  <pre>Checking svn:mergeinfo changes since r3: 1 sources, 1 changed
  refs/remotes/svn/Production: no associated commit metadata
  
  command failed: git svn fetch</pre>
  
  <p>I have searched around and I was unable to find any situation that applied directly to my error. Anyone have a clue why this error would pop up?</p>
