git svn dcommit fails because of assertion error “svn_fspath__is_canonical(child_fspath)” (cygwin)

Question

I hope anybody can help me.

When I try to push my local git branch to the svn server this will always result into this error:

$ git svn dcommit
Comm

Downgrading svn is not guaranteed to help: the bug is in serf backend so one has to also make sure to switch to neon backend.

The bug has been patched in svn upstream: http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.comp.version-control.subversion.devel/145186.

There's a workaround submitted to git upstream: http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.comp.version-control.git/237906/focus=239690. As it's in perl you can apply it locally to your installed version, before any of the above is released and propagates to your environment.
