git svn fetch - Unable to find .git directory

Question

I have migrated the SVN repository to a local Git repository by using following git svn clone command

git svn clone <svn-repo>/<project> <git-repo-name>

Now I want to synchronize the new local Git repository when the SVN repository changes(new commit). I used following command to fetch any new commits from the original SVN repository:

git svn fetch

But nothing is fetched after executing above command. It displays as :

$ git svn fetch

Instaed it shows as :

$ git svn fetch
fatal: Not a git repository (or any of the parent directories): .git
Unable to find .git directory
at D:\Program Files\Git\mingw64/libexec/git-core\git-svn line 347.

I think you need to change directory into the root of the git repo. The clone operation will have created a sub-folder from within your current folder which contains the new git repository. cd into this folder and then try the svn fetch operation.
