You can fix yourself the git-svn script if you want:
<https://github.com/git/git/blob/master/git-svn.perl>

To me it seems like the git_path sub is called on an already stripped 
path. It would probably just work if you just removed the 'die' command 
on line 4583 of git-svn, even though that's a dirty fix. (Line number 
taken from github's master, you might be using a different version.)
