I've had errors like this. For certain repositories (possibly very old ones) there is an unusual, empty, revision 0. I got around the problem by telling git-svn to start at revision 1. Everything seemed fine after that.

$ git-svn fetch -r1
I don't know if that will be your fix, but it's worth a try.
