Can I specify a “chunk size” for git svn fetch?

I asked this over on StackOverflow (http://stackoverflow.com/q/5886993/665372) and someone suggested asking this mailing list.

I'm cloning an SVN repo with git and everything seems to be working fine. The very last revision I need to download contains a ~220MB zip file.

I know this isn't an issue for git, however the school's server I'm downloading it from hangs up half way through the file which invalidates the entire index requiring that it re-download the revision again.

Is there a way to tell git-svn fetch to get an index in multiple chunks of a particular chunk-size or to retain the partial index if the server hangs up?

Spec info: Win7 with Cygwin 1.7.9-1 git & git-svn 1.7.4-1
