git-svn ignores http proxy (debian)

Question

Searching how to use git with a proxy I found two solutions:

the http_proxy environment variable
the git config http.proxy

Since export http_proxy=http://proxy.fqdn:8080 made wget work, but not git-svn, I tried the second option additionally: git config --global http.proxy http://proxy.fqdn:8080. But to no success. Wireshark still tells me that git-svn contacts the remote repository directly. Alas:

git svn clone -s http://svn.wp-plugins.org/yak-for-wordpress 
ZM-Schicht Anforderung gescheitert: OPTIONS von »http://svn.wp-plugins.org/yak-for-wordpress«: Konnte keine Verbindung zum Server herstellen (http://svn.wp-plugins.org) at /usr/lib/git-core/git-svn line 1916

Am I missing something, or is this a bug in git-svn? Did anyone try successfuly to clone a svn repo through a proxy?

Make sure you don't have to specify your username and password as well (in addition to the proxy address).

But also consider adding that same information (http.proxy) to SVN itself (as in this thread):

Adding proxy information in the [global] section in $HOME/.subversion/servers fixed the issue.

Thanks very much. Setting the proxy for SVN itself did the trick. I guess I'll raise a request for the git-svn man page.
