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(/|$)))

Small test script:

    rm -rf testrepo.svn testrepo.gitsvn
    svnadmin create testrepo.svn
    url=file://`pwd`/testrepo.svn

    svn mkdir -m "" "$url/trunk" "$url/branches" "$url/tags"
    rm -rf testrepo
    svn co "$url" testrepo
    cd testrepo/trunk

    mkdir -p foo/bar/
    svn add foo/
    svn commit -mx

    svn rm foo/bar/
    svn commit -mx

    svn up
    mkdir -p baz/
    svn add baz/
    svn commit -mx

    echo x > fil.txt
    svn add fil.txt
    svn commit -mx

    cd ../..

    git svn clone --stdlayout --preserve-empty-dirs "$url" testrepo.gitsvn

result:
