@Tommy: well, basically git svn is just a wrapper for git-svn… but there could be PATH related issues I am not aware of.

Best regards,

The command is not git-svn, its ‘git svn’. If you install what is above you should be able to get ‘git help svn’ to show you the man page for it.

I had git-svn in /usr/sbin/git-core, but rather than running it directly, I chose to run “git svn” using the /bin/git wrapper.

More details and issues I encountered:

Hi,

verify if there is [cygwindir]\bin\git-svn available on your system. By default it should be installed together with the normal git package of cygwin.

Also try entering /bin/git-svn if it can be found. Other git operations are working?

Best regards,
Martin

I’ve installed git in cygwin both from setup.exe and then from source. I have subversion-perl installed. I copied down Error.pm as described above. I ran ash rebaseall as described elsewhere.

git-svn is still nowhere to be found in cygwin.

I get “git-svn: command not found”

what am I doing wrong?
