git-svn creates wrong tag when latter contains spaces

[Daniel D.]

Binary package hint: git

Importing https://svn.java.net/svn/jna~svn/trunk. There's a tag called "CVS HEAD" with a space. This causes git-svn to create .git/refs/remotes/tags/CVS%20HEAD, which is url-encoded. If git-svn dies, subsequent restarts fail. Workaround is to rename CVS HEAD, replace %20 by a space.

There're also warnings importing this repo, and a lot of git-svn died with signal 13. But those are separate problems.

Command used is git svn --authors-file=authors clone -s https://svn.java.net/svn/jna~svn.

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

I've the same problem:
$ git svn fetch
Found possible branch point: https://xxx/svn/xxx/branches/11-07 D t-m => https://xxx/svn/xxx/branches/11-09 S t-m, 4332
fatal: Not a valid object name refs/remotes/1-11 M R 2.6
cat-file commit refs/remotes/1-11 M R 2.6: command returned error: 128

Trying to create the tag manually, but it's not allowed.
$ git tag "11-07 D t-m" remotes/11-07%20D
fatal: '11-07 D t-m' is not a valid tag name.

This is fixed in Git 1.8.0

No, it's not. I'm getting it with Git 1.8.3.1

I'm getting this problem with git version 2.14.3 and this workaround helps: https://stackoverflow.com/a/11365319
