Hi all,

I've been trying to move from Subversion to Git for a couple days now, and I can't get git svn to get all my data. The progress so far is explained at <http://l0b0.wordpress.com/2009/11/14/n-way-git-synchronization-with-extra-cheese/>. git svn fetch doesn't report any errors, and goes through the entire repository as regular as anything, but at the end about half of the root directories are missing. Even the file modified by the last commit is not there at all. Any ideas why this is?
