title: Git SVN Is Unable to Fetch from SVN Repository
body: <p>I'd like to use SVN and Git together. I have an svn repository, and I'm trying to fetch to a working directory, but I encounter an error as below.</p>
  
  <p><strong>svn, version 1.6.6 (r40053)</strong></p>
  
  <p><strong>git version 1.7.3.1.msysgit.0</strong></p>
  
  <p>The svn repository path is <strong>file:///d:/tmp/test-svn/repos</strong></p>
  
  <p>These are the steps I did:</p>
  
  <pre><code>D:\tmp\test-svn&gt;mkdir my-project
  
  D:\tmp\test-svn&gt;cd my-project
  
  D:\tmp\test-svn\my-project&gt;git svn init file:///d:/tmp/test-svn/repos
  
  Initialized empty Git repository in D:/tmp/test-svn/my-project/.git/
  
  D:\tmp\test-svn\my-project&gt;git svn fetch
  
  Couldn't open a repository: Unable to open an ra_local session to URL: Unable to
   open repository 'file:///d:/tmp/test-svn/repos/my-project/trunk': Expected FS f
  ormat '2'; found format '4' at C:\Program Files\Git/libexec/git-core/git-svn lin
  e 1773
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>So what is the issue? How can I fetch data from svn repository to the git working directory?</p>
  
  <p>Thank you.</p>
