I have to use git svn to pull from a subversion repository in a local git repository. I don't have any local subversion repositories to debug the problem that I will describe below.

I do a git svn clone (or if I've already done a clone an git svn rebase) from the repository. There is one particular subversion commit that is quite large (revision 15300). Anyway both the git svn clone and the git svn rebase commands hang.

     ...  - r15259 - r15300 - r15301 - ...

I know there are commits in the subversion repoistory beyond the bad repository and I would like to be able do manually what git svn rebase would do with the commit and then be able to run git svn rebase to get revisions 15301 and following.

Are the steps necessary to manually fetch 15300 so that I don't screw up future git svn rebase commands documented?
