Sorry if I have posted this in the not-right place :)
It's not like someone is going to die if I didn't checked out a git repo
from SVN client; I was only testing it as other people have done it
successfully.
Anyway, the only reason I posted in this mailing list is because the error
message told me so... and to be nice, I did :)
Take care
