git-svn with file-based access to repository

I get the following error when I try to git clone an SVN repository:

$ git svn clone "file:////stevenagefs/Projects/6500-6999/6792/DesignSVNRepos" 
"DesignGit" -T trunk -b branches -t tags -r 0:HEAD
Couldn't open a repository: Unable to open an ra_local session to URL: Unable to
 open repository 'file:///stevenagefs/Projects/6500-6999/6792/DesignSVNRepos' at
  C:\Apps\Git/libexec/git-core\git-svn line 2210

Is there something I'm doing wrong or is it not possible to use git-svn like this?

Note that I know that file-based access to SVN repositories is considered harmful, but that's all I have.

You are allowed file-access, but only if the client is compiled with file-access support (ra_local), which git-svn does not seem to be. If you really want file-access you will need to build your own git-svn client.
