After upgrading to version 2.17.0, this message appears repeatedly when
running `git svn rebase`:

Use of uninitialized value $rec in scalar chomp at /usr/local/lib/perl5/site_perl/Git.pm line 557, <$fh> chunk 1.

The value of chunk varies.  For example the message above may end with
'...<$fh> chunk 5.'  This is with the FreeBSD packages git-2.17.0 and
perl 5.26.1.

Does this stop the `rebase`?

Also: could you publish the unrebased branch so that others can reproduce
the error? (I am not claiming that I have enough time; I don't...)

Thanks,
Johannes

Hi Johannes,

No, this does not stop the `svn rebase`.  This is with the FreeBSD ports tree, svn.freebsd.org/ports, following the setup described at https://wiki.freebsd.org/GitWorkflow/GitSvn .
