Git can fail with a "malformed index nnn" error or cause a segmentation
fault when executing the "git svn clone" command.

Fortunately, a patch has already been submitted to subversion with
(github) revision a074af86c8764404b28ce99d0bedcb668a321408 (at
https://github.com/apache/subversion/commit/a074af86c8) on the trunk to
handle this and a couple of other similar cases. But by the looks of it
has not been picked up yet in the latest subversion 1.9.4 release or the
1.9.x branch, perhaps because this patch was identified in sanity checks
rather than coming out from a perceivable production issue?

This is an excellent analysis and a silver lining on the horizon to
resolve those vexing git svn issues we keep having in Git for Windows.

Do you have a test case that is reliably reproducing the issue?

I hope you do! I patched the MSYS2 build script to apply a074af86c8 before
compiling, and uploaded the resulting packages for i686 and x86_64
architectures to

	https://github.com/dscho/MSYS2-packages/releases/tag/subversion-1.9.4-2

Would you mind giving them a whirl?

Thanks,
Johannes
