Rogan,

it looks like your connection to the server is dodgy, or maybe the server is being restarted, or has a throttle for "intense" clients.

After it failes, you should be able to do

   git-checkout -b master

and then rerun git-svnimport $params as many times as needed until it completes.

cheers,

maritn
