git-svn and u-boot broken.

I am trying to create a SVN tree using git-svn from the u-boot git tree and it doesn't work.
First, I had to change this (from memory) in git-svn:
  my $got = SVN::TxDelta::send_stream($fh, @$atd, $self->{pool});
to
  my $got;
  if ( $got ) {
    $got = SVN::TxDelta::send_stream($fh, @$atd, $self->{pool});
  } else {
    $got = $exp
  }
I am no perl programmer so please change as you se fit.

Secondly I ran out of open file descriptors which I "fixed" with ulimit -n 10000, maybe there is a leak in git-svn?

Then it still failed, but this I could not fix. Don't have the error msg atm as I am home now, but it should be easy enough to reproduce, just clone current u-boot tree and try :)

What I really would like to do is merge all u-boot commits up to a point into one commit and then commit that single git commit to a clean SVN repo. Then I want merge the remaining git commits(my own stuff). Tried to import a tar tree into the SVN repo with svn import and then merge the remain commits on top of that using git-svn but that didn't work, lots of conflicts.
