Bump. Can anyone give any pointers or ideas for workarounds on this?

Searching the list archives i have found 2 others reporting similair problems with git-svn, both which were left unreplied: http://marc.info/?t=122118776000001&r=1&w=2 http://marc.info/?t=121537770800003&r=1&w=2

I'm stuck at this point - if i can't migrate this repository i cannot use git for my work.
