Thomas,

Thanks a lot for taking the time to look at my problem.

I did what you suggested. Now my .git/config looks like:
[svn-remote "svn"]
         url = svn://server/aaa/AAA
         fetch = trunk:refs/remotes/trunk
        fetch = branches/XXX:refs/remotes/svn/XXX
  and here is the result:
 > git svn fetch
W: Item is not readable: Item is not readable at 
/usr/libexec/git-core/git-svn line 1782

Error from SVN, (220001): Item is not readable: Item is not readable

Any other idea ?
Or is there a way to get more debug info from git-svn. May be it would 
give us some insight on what it is trying to do and failing to.

Thanks,

Antoine.
