title: How can I use "git-svn" to checkout a local svn repository?
body: <p>I'm practicing how to use svn and git.</p>
  
  <p>I created a svn repository on my computer, at "/Users/name/svnRepo/test". I am able to use the svn commands to work on this repository.</p>
  
  <p>Then, I tried to use command <strong>"git-svn clone FILE:///Users/name/svnRepo/test/ ."</strong>, and got an error:</p>
  
  <p><strong>Initialized empty Git repository in ...
  Bad URL passed to RA layer: Unable to open an ra_local session to URL: Local URL 'FILE:///Users/name/svnRepo/test' does not contain 'file://' prefix at /usr/local/git/libexec/git-core/git-svn line 1775</strong></p>
  
  <p>Could anyone help?</p>
