The problem is as follow:
1. git svn fetch
2.
Found possible branch point: https://xxx/svn/xxx/branches/11-07 D t-m => https://xxx/svn/xxx/branches/11-09 S t-m, 4332
fatal: Not a valid object name refs/remotes/1-11 M R 2.6 cat-file commit refs/remotes/1-11 M R 2.6: command returned error: 128

I'm using git version 1.7.9.5 on Ubuntu 12.04

I've tried to create the tag manually, but it's not allowed.

$ git tag "11-07 D t-m" remotes/11-07%20D
fatal: '11-07 D t-m' is not a valid tag name.

As workaround I've tried:
- to create or rename tag manually as suggested here:
http://stackoverflow.com/questions/11365317/git-svn-clone-fails-fatal-not-a-valid-object-name/11559472#11559472
- http://qa.celogeek.com/programming/versionning/git/svn/rebase_with_bad_object_after_rm
But without success.

There is also bug report on lunchpad:
