I traced an identical problem on my system to [auth] store-passwords = no
in my ~/.subversion/config A workaround is given on stackoverflow: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/33154790/ short: The config setting was deprecated a while and seems to break badly with subversion 1.9, but only when using the git-svn or the perl binding von SVN. The correct config would be [global] store-passwords = no in ~/.subversion/servers However, there is no reason git-svn should fail like that. So somebody with good knowledge of perl should report a bug to upstream (git-svn) or possibly straight to subversion. -- JonnyJD
