In looking at the source of git-svn, I see:

' # there are currently some bugs that prevent multi-init/multi-fetch
  # setups from working well without this.
  $Git::SVN::_minimize_url = 1;'

I tried setting it to '0' and rerunning my clone. It no longer prompted for a password, but it still failed to clone anything.
