Using MacPorts with git 1.7.0.4 and Subversion 1.6.11, ironically, cloning Subversion's own source code is failing.  I'm using a larger log window size to make the scan to svn's first commit in the repository much faster:
$ git svn clone --log-window-size 5000 -s https://svn.apache.org/repos/asf/subversion
It ends up failing with:

I've tried two separate clones with the exact same error.
Trying to finish the clone then gets this:

$ cd subversion $ git svn fetch && git svn rebase fatal: ambiguous argument '3b290983fbd7b401e4d1d20256378ba3657cf7d6^..862ea856c2acad5035ce14758fb928c07d7b7f6b': unknown revision or path not in the working tree.
