git-svn --preserve-empty-dirs: Failed to strip path

Hi.
I ran 'git svn init', then
    git config svn-remote.svn.preserve-empty-dirs true
    git config svn-remote.svn.placeholder-filename ".gitignore"
then 'git svn fetch' and I get this:
    ...
    r897 = dc26a4628a0e1fb79452a3f1953fbdc1feae69d1 (refs/remotes/svn/trunk)
            M       pom.xml
    Failed to strip path 'ADDBackEnd/api/src/main/java/com/sicap/dmc/addbe/api/services/local/.gitignore' ((?-xism:^trunk(/|$)))
