$ git --version git version 2.15.0

$ git svn clone https://smtp4dev.svn.codeplex.com/svn smtp4dev

I have tried to fiddle with --log-window-size but nothing seemed to work. (https://stackoverflow.com/questions/38071052/getting-error-while-migrating-code-from-svn-to-git-repository-malformed-network)
