How do I fix "git-svn died of signal 6" during clone? - git-svn

Question

I'm trying to clone a new SVN repository with little more than trunk/branches/tags in it, but it fails with relatively little information:
git svn clone --stdlayout https://mydomain.com/svn/myrepo
Initialized empty Git repository in /Users/datguy/myrepo/.git/
Authentication realm: <https://mydomain.com> (null)
Password for 'datguy':
error: git-svn died of signal 6
I thought I was using the default versions of git & svn that came with OSX 10.8.3, but I noticed that the svn version reported by the following two commands was different:
$ git svn --version
git-svn version 1.7.10.2 (Apple Git-33) (svn 1.6.18)
$ svn --version
svn, version 1.7.7 (r1393599)
I apparently installed a newer version of svn with homebrew (in /usr/local/bin/svn). I am able to work with this repository using svn, including import, checkout, etc. How do I figure out what's going wrong with git-svn, or update the svn bindings?
EDIT - I dug into the console and found this perl crash report. Unfortunately, I don't have enough experience reading these reports to know what it's trying to tell me.

Answer 1

Thanks to this Q&A, I learned how to update the SVN::Core perl module. After doing that, I was able to clone the svn repository.
