Symptoms
git-svn repositories fail to clone/pull/push from Subversion after upgrading to Mac OS X 10.8 Mountain Lion
Cause
Mountain Lion removed the default install of Subversion and the bindings to other languages.
Workaround
On a fresh Mountain Lion install, the simplest way to get git-svn working again is to:
Install XCode 4.4
Open XCode and in Preferences > Downloads, click 'Install' next to 'Command line tools'
In SourceTree, open Preferences > Git and click 'Use System Git', confirming your git path
git-svn should now work again
