After upgrading to version 1.8.0.2 from the pervious version i am having trouble checking out a remote git-svn branch.

Error message:

git -c diff.mnemonicprefix=false -c core.quotepath=false -c credential.helper=sourcetree checkout -b feature-lockscreen-tracking --track feature-infinite-scroll
fatal: Cannot setup tracking information; starting point 'feature-infinite-scroll' is not a branch.
Completed with errors, see above

This works as expected (from the command line)

Blakes-MacBook-Pro:perk-api blake$ git checkout -b feature-infinite-scroll feature-infinite-scroll
Switched to a new branch 'feature-infinite-scroll'

I believe this may have something to do with the updated embedded git version as described here: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/19712735/git-svn-cannot-setup-tracking-information-starting-point-is-not-a-branch
