I have the same (?) problem with one of my svn repository. It worked before (I've redone the import with the -r flag), so I bisected it. The problematic commit seems to be:

diff-tree 4802426... (from 525c0d7...)

    svnimport: Convert executable flag

    Convert the svn:executable property to file mode 755 when converting
    an SVN repository to GIT.

I think it has a memory leak, it used up to 140m of memory.

$ git reset --hard 4802426^ $ time ../git-svnimport.perl file:///path/ Use of uninitialized value in string eq at ../git-svnimport.perl line 463. Use of uninitialized value in substitution (s///) at ../git-svnimport.perl line 466. real 0m55.801s user 0m30.578s sys 0m23.084s

and it didn't finished. Hope it helps.
