Resending. I think the earlier copy failed to get through because it
was HTML. It'd be nice if the mailing list software sent a rejection
notice instead of silently dropping HTML mail on the floor.

I installed Cygwin from scratch today on my Vista SP1 box, using the
v2.573.2.3 setup.exe.

I ran "ash rebaseall -v", which worked once I renamed cyglsa64.dll to
a different extension.

"git init" works, as does "git status" and "git svn help". But "git
svn init" spews (slowly)

$ git svn init
      4 [main] perl 5624 child_copy: linked dll data write copy failed, 0x6FEB60
00..0x6FEB6080, done 0, windows pid 5624, Win32 error 487
5022480 [main] perl 5624 child_copy: linked dll data write copy failed, 0x6FEB60
00..0x6FEB6080, done 0, windows pid 5624, Win32 error 487
10036887 [main] perl 5624 child_copy: linked dll data write copy failed, 0x6FEB6
000..0x6FEB6080, done 0, windows pid 5624, Win32 error 487   [etc, etc]

Error 487 is ERROR_INVALID_ADDRESS, Attempt to access invalid address.

I used SysInternals' Process Monitor, filtering on everything with
"cygwin" in the path. Nothing obvious.

I turned off Windows Defender. No dice. There is no antivirus software
on this box.

I looked at process 5624 in Process Explorer. The only DLLs in the
process belong to Microsoft or Cygwin. (BTW, you really ought to build
all your DLLs with good version resources, including Description,
Company Name, and Version.)

Now what? git-svn support seems to be even more broken in MSysGit.

I'm currently experimenting with
http://www.selenic.com/mercurial/wiki/index.cgi/SubversionToMercurialHowto
as a DVCS-Subversion bridge, since I'm stymied with git-svn on
Windows.
