Bug: git-svn fails on Mediawiki SVN repo r2992

There is some problem between git-svn (v1.4.4.1.gad0c3) and MediaWiki SVN when cloning their repo.

I just did $ git-svn init http://svn.wikimedia.org/svnroot/mediawiki/trunk/phase3 $ git-svn fetch -r 2991:3122 and git-svn went into an endless loop, repeatedly downloading and adding the same files from r2992 over and over again.

The bad revision can be viewed here: http://svn.wikimedia.org/viewvc/mediawiki?view=rev&revision=2992 It adds ~1000 files (mostly small images). I can check out this revision just fine using the svn command line client.

I found this problem while cloning this repo a while ago, using a slightly older version of git (probably 1.4.3, don't remember exactly). In this repo, some directories appeared in the latest revisions which were deleted a long time ago.

You can temporarily browse this repo here: http://misc.j-crew.de/cgi-bin/gitweb.cgi?p=mediawiki.git HEAD contains the dir Smarty-2.6.2, which was removed in SVN r3122. Strangely, my repo misses all commits between r2991 and r3822. You can see the gap at http://misc.j-crew.de/cgi-bin/gitweb.cgi?p=mediawiki.git;a=shortlog;h=49e761ba51ee0d0a698999451134acbf2e078c03

I didn't notice any strange errors while cloning, but I had to abort and restart git-svn a few times, so maybe there was some error there?

Anyway, I figured I didn't need the _whole_ history, so this is nothing urgent, but I thought I should report it.
