Hi,

After bisecting this problem I ended up with the mentioned commit that completely breaks git-svn for me on Windows (mingw/msys version).

    path.c: refactor relative_path(), not only strip prefix

Thanks,

The suspect commit and symptom look consistent.  You started from a
directory whose absolute path is "w:/work/..." and the updated code
mistakenly thoguht that something that begins with "w" (not '/') is
not an absolute, so added a series of ../ to make it relative, or
something silly like that.

Jiang?
