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.
