Today, I ran into the same error while trying to git svn rebase the
virtualbox repository using git and Perl from Debian Squeeze aka
stable, architecture is i386:

$ cat .git/config
[core]
        repositoryformatversion = 0
        filemode = true
        bare = false
        logallrefupdates = true
[svn-remote "svn"]
        url = http://www.virtualbox.org/svn/vbox/trunk
        fetch = :refs/remotes/git-svn
$ git svn rebase
(...)

Byte order is not compatible at ../../lib/Storable.pm (autosplit into ../../lib/auto/Storable/_retrieve.al) line 380, at /usr/share/perl/5.10.1/Memoize/Storable.pm line 21

Could not unmemoize function `lookup_svn_merge', because it was not memoized to begin with at /usr/lib/git-core/git-svn line 3178
END failed--call queue aborted at /usr/lib/git-core/git-svn line 39.


Workaround: Use git-1.6.5.7/git-svn.perl (still checking out but it
got around the commit above).

The pre-state of my local tree is still in my backups, drop me a line
within the next week if you're interested, compressed size is 
178Mbyte *yuck*

Cheers,
    Christoph
