Description

bin/dunecontrol calls git-svn directly.

Quoting from http://repo.or.cz/w/git.git?a=blob_plain;f=Documentation/RelNotes-1.6.0.txt

[..] Invoking a git subcommand as "git-xyzzy" from the command line has been deprecated since early 2006 (and officially announced in 1.5.4 release notes); use of them from your scripts after adding output from "git --exec-path" to the $PATH is still supported in this release, but users are again strongly encouraged to adjust their scripts to use "git xyzzy" form, as we will stop installing "git-xyzzy" hardlinks for built-in commands in later releases.

The predicted changes have been carried out (as of 1.6.0.2), a git-svn symlink is no longer installed.

Solution: Call git svn (no dash) instead.
