git svn exits with error error closing pipe: Bad file descriptor

After upgrade to subversion 1.8.0 on some repositories git svn clone shows two warnings: error closing pipe: Bad file descriptor at /home/users/kornet/giti/libexec/git-core/git-svn line 0. at exit. They appear because process git cat-file --batch exits before command_close_bidi_pipe is called by destructor during perl exit. The solution is to call the destructor explicitly, e.q.: index ff1ce3d..6811738 100755

However I'm not sure whether it is not a symptom of some other error. What's confuses me more is that the warnings don't appear for all repositories. For example they appear for http://svn.pld-linux.org/svn/cdpl/ while cloning http://svn.pld-linux.org/svn/atob ends normally. On the other hand it is consistent between two different machines with different Linux distributions and perl versions. -- Kacper Kornet
