title: svn to git, create-ignores does not work
body: <p>I try to convert a subversion repo to git with "git svn ..."</p>
  
  <p>(guide from <a href="http://john.albin.net/git/convert-subversion-to-git" rel="nofollow">http://john.albin.net/git/convert-subversion-to-git</a>)</p>
  
  <p>Unfortunately "git svn create-ignore" does not work:</p>
  
  <pre><code>config --get svn-remote.svn.fetch :refs/remotes/git-svn$: command returned error: 1
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>How can I get the svn:ignore properties to .gitignore files?</p>
