I tried to create a clone of an svn repository,  and it gave

Looking at the source,  this is the call '$reporter->finish-report($pool)'
near the end of gs_do_update.

This is using git 1.5.6 from the etch backports repository.

The repository in question was cocotron,  the command being:

  git svn clone http://cocotron.googlecode.com/svn -t tags -b branches -T trunk

It might not help you, but with svn version 1.4.6 (r28521) (from
Ubuntu 8.04) and current git master the above command has just
finished successfully.
