Hmm.  That message means that git found a git-svn executable but failed to
run it for some reason, for example because the fork() system call failed.

Just a hunch, but: what is the state of your vm.overcommit_memory setting
(/proc/sys/vm/overcommit_memory)?

Starting with v1.6.5, git reports which system call actually failed, so
output from that version or later would be helpful, too.

Thanks,
Jonathan
