git-svn crashed with SIGSEGV in run_cleanups()

[Horst Schirmeier]

Since Ubuntu 13.04, "git svn rebase" crashes in some (interestingly not all) git-svn clones after finishing all operations successfully. This also happens for both old checkouts and newly cloned repositories.

$ git svn rebase
Current branch master is up to date.

Note that this also happens with a custom build of git 1.8.4.2.

This seems to be fixed in Ubuntu 14.04.

[Launchpad Janitor (janitor)]

Status changed to 'Confirmed' because the bug affects multiple users.

[Dirk Schoebel (emerald79)]

Same crash happpens to me in Ubuntu 14.04.

[André Stein (andre-stein-1985)]

This also happens in 15.10

[Sebastiao Santos (santos-sandro)]

This also happens in 16.04, with a large repo. It works fine with some others.

Same crash happpens to me in Ubuntu 14.04. Crashed when I run command like git svn rebase , git svn fetch and so on.

[Sofus Albertsen (sofusalbertsen)]

Still the same for 16.04.1 LTS

[Dennis Schwartz-Knap (dennis-n1by)]

This issue is really problematic since it halts svn2git conversion tool from atlassian (https://www.atlassian.com/git/tutorials/migrating-overview/)

Sadly the svn2git tool crashes repeatly due to this issue, especially if you have a long svn history to migrate.

Running it with 16.04.1.

Has anyone filed this issue with git upstream? Is it still reproducible with git upstream? It might also be useful to recompile with ASAN or run this under valgrind.

Thanks

I haven't seen this in a long time, currently using Ubuntu 16.10.

Reinstalling Perl worked for me:
$ sudo apt-get install --reinstall libsvn-perl
