Hi all,

I am new to Git and I am attempting to clone a SVN repository (containing approximately 60,000 commits) to Git.

Using Git v1.6.0.4 with the following command:

git svn clone https://path/to/svn/repo/trunk project.git --authors-file=svnauthors.txt --no-metadata

the process just ends without any messages and the Git repository is empty. I have attempted this four times already, and each time it has stopped after a different revision, so I can't pin it down to a particular commit.

Has anyone experienced this before? Is there a log anywhere that records what is happening during this process?

Thanks, Mark.
