I recently got this error when trying to git svn clone an existing repo:

Couldn't open a repository: Unable to connect to a repository at URL
'file:///home/cody/work/SmartPay': Unable to open an ra_local session
to URL: Unable to open repository 'file:///home/cody/work/SmartPay' at
/usr/share/perl5/Git/SVN.pm line


Then I created my own new svn repo to ensure my install of svn-git was working:

cody@cody-XPS-L521X:~/svn-repos$ svnadmin create testrepo
cody@cody-XPS-L521X:~/svn-repos$ svnserve -d -r /home/cody/svn-repos
cody@cody-XPS-L521X:~/svn-repos$ cd /tmp
cody@cody-XPS-L521X:/tmp$ git svn clone svn://localhost/testrepo
Initialized empty Git repository in /tmp/testrepo/.git/

So I've verified my install is working and I understand how to clone a
local repo.

What svn repo versions is git-svn compatible with? If the svnadmin
version used to create the existing repo I want to clone was very old
is that what is giving me the error? Is there a workaround?

How should I proceed?
