Hello Gents and pardon my intrusion; I've stumbled upon the exact same issue when trying to use svn2git:
$ svn2git http://svn.server.local:7080/svn/repo --authors authors.txt --revision 1 --username "ktopaz" Initialized empty Git repository in /data/attempt03.svn2git/.git/ Authentication realm: <http://svn.server.local:7080> VisualSVN Server Password for 'ktopaz': #<Thread:0x0000557cfc788ee8@/usr/local/share/gems/gems/svn2git-2.4.0/lib/svn2git/migration.rb:431 run> terminated with exception (report_on_exception is true): Traceback (most recent call last): 2: from /usr/local/share/gems/gems/svn2git-2.4.0/lib/svn2git/migration.rb:432:in `block (2 levels) in run_command' 1: from /usr/local/share/gems/gems/svn2git-2.4.0/lib/svn2git/migration.rb:432:in `loop' /usr/local/share/gems/gems/svn2git-2.4.0/lib/svn2git/migration.rb:438:in `block (3 levels) in run_command': undefined local variable or method `stdin' for #<Svn2Git::Migration:0x0000557cfc791ed0> (NameError) Did you mean?

I'm desperate for a faster solution.
