git svn broken in git version 2.33.0.windows.2 #3392

I was not able to find an open or closed issue matching what I'm seeing

Setup

Which version of Windows are you running? Vista, 7, 8, 10? Is it 32-bit or 64-bit?
```

Any other interesting things about your environment that might be related
to the issue you're seeing?

No

Details

Which terminal/shell are you running Git from? e.g Bash/CMD/PowerShell/other

PowerShell
What commands did you run to trigger this issue? If you can provide a
Minimal, Complete, and Verifiable example
this will help us understand the issue.

I was running commit-diff, but the issue is reproducible with a simple clone:
```
git svn clone https://github.com/git-for-windows/build-extra/trunk
```

What did you expect to occur after running these commands?

I expected git svn to do the clone. Usually it produces output like this:

Initialized empty Git repository in ...
... omitted lines ...
Checked out HEAD:
  https://github.com/git-for-windows/build-extra/trunk r123

What actually happened instead?

Git svn produced the following errors:

Can't load '/usr/lib/perl5/vendor_perl/auto/SVN/_Core/_Core.dll' for module SVN::_Core: No such file or directory at /usr/lib/perl5/core_perl/DynaLoader.pm line 193.

BEGIN failed--compilation aborted at /usr/lib/perl5/vendor_perl/SVN/Core.pm line 5.

BEGIN failed--compilation aborted at C:/Program Files/Git/mingw64/libexec/git-core\git-svn line 64.

If the problem was occurring with a specific repository, can you provide the
URL to that repository to help us with testing?

You can use any repository. E.g.: https://github.com/git-for-windows/build-extra
What's the latest version of Git where you do not experience this issue?

Git svn commands seem to work fine in these versions:
- git version 2.32.0.windows.2
- git version 2.31.1.windows.1
- git version 2.29.1.windows.1
- git version 2.28.0.windows.1
- git version 2.24.1.windows.2

The text was updated successfully, but these errors were encountered:

I'm experiencing the same issue. Only thing I have to add is that it still worked for me with 2.33.0.windows.1

dscho · 2021-08-25T07:25:08Z

I can reproduce, but I am a bit stretched. Could I ask you to help identify the root cause e.g. by testing the Aug 23 snapshot (i.e. the snapshot between v2.33.0 and v2.33.0(2))?

And maybe even try to identify the exact file(s) that need to be replaced in v2.33.0(2) to fix it (I would do that by extracting two portable Gits, identifying which files are different/missing, and copying a couple of them over until the symptoms go away).

Thank you so much in advance!

bmueller84 · 2021-08-25T08:25:42Z

Was able to do a quick test; the Aug 23 is already bad.

dscho · 2021-08-25T09:49:16Z

Was able to do a quick test; the Aug 23 is already bad.

Okay, then I suspect that the problem was caused by upgrading cURL (it lost the metalink dependency, which depended on libexpat, and both were removed as a consequence).

There have been two major breakages recently, might just as well try to prevent them from happening again: - git-for-windows/git#3348 (v2.33.0-rc0) - git-for-windows/git#3392 (v2.33.0(2)) Signed-off-by: Johannes Schindelin <johannes.schindelin@gmx.de>

TBH I had hoped for a bit more assistance here. Now I have to somehow squeeze out the time to investigate myself 😞

Fully understand, but that's all I could squeeze in today (during my day job).

dscho · 2021-08-25T13:42:32Z

FWIW once we found the culprit and fixed it, I am thinking about releasing Git for Windows v2.33.0(3). It would also include OpenSSL v1.1.1l (which fixes a high severity CVE). But maybe I should not rush things so much, git svn is not all that widely in use anymore, after all.

dscho · 2021-08-25T19:13:55Z

It would seem that copying usr/bin/msys-expat-1.dll from a good version lets git svn -h work again.

bmueller84 · 2021-08-26T11:02:11Z

Many thanks for the quick fix. Please let me know if you want me to verify the fix (and if yes, where I can find the corresponding snapshot).
Regarding your other question: I see no need for rushing anything. Knowing git svn will be fixed in the next version (whenever it will arrive) is sufficient for me.

dscho · 2021-08-26T16:21:35Z

I see no need for rushing anything.

Thank you for that datapoint.

Please let me know if you want me to verify the fix

Yes, once there is a new snapshot, I would love to ask you to verify that git svn works again.

Had the same issue as OP with the stable build and tested myself that one, now it works as expected. Thank you!

Same here; thanks!

dscho · 2021-08-31T13:24:57Z

For the record, there is now a snapshot with the fix. These snapshots are precisely like the official Git for Windows versions, with the exception of the funny version number ;-)

fedorbirjukov · 2021-09-01T09:22:10Z

Does that mean I can close the issue?

It's already closed. No further action needed.

It would seem that copying usr/bin/msys-expat-1.dll from a good version lets git svn -h work again.

Thanks dscho! This worked for me.

For those that are using 64-bit and do not want to download the entire Git snapshot, here's the msys-expat-1.dll file from snapshot 2aa9e28. Unzip to /usr/bin/.

msys-expat-1.zip

This will fix SVN on Git 2.33.0.windows.2 until the next release is ready.

An even better workaround is to upgrade to the latest snapshot (as I had already mentioned).

dscho · 2021-10-14T12:46:50Z

Everybody coming to this ticket: please update to Git for Windows v2.33.1.

Issue is solved by using updating the git on windows
Actually running following command :
C:> git update-git-for-windows
ORRR
C:> git update

with old git version :

As a general rule, I do not support old Git versions. Only new ones. They are the ones with fixes.
