Migrating SVN (to Git) branches with white space in the names

I'm facing a common problem migrating SVN to Git, basically I have some branches (on SVN) named with white spaces. Is there a way to solve or workaround it?

I've found some "solutions" but none of them worked for me.

I have a rude and massive repository to migrate and the command already migrated more then 90% of them (it took more then a week).

Someone has a clue how to solve it?

Git error: command returned error: 128

System Info:

Win 7 64x

git version 1.9.5.msysgit.0

Thanks!

For anyone reading this now, and using say an Ubuntu box, which might affect behavior, using the svn2git tool, use both double quotes around the full URL and %20 in place of the spaces. This has worked for me now on a rather large conversion.

Open the file git-repo-name/.git/packed-refs and replace the %20 for spaces.

Git version: git version 2.6.2.windows.1 (win 7 64x via git bash).
