This is the right place. The Git community believes in maintaining just one mailing list.

Interesting. From the git-svn-id of the most recent commit, can you tell if there's anything especially fishy about the revision where git-svn stops? Your Subversion repository is probably broken in some way, but git-svn should not use that as an excuse for appearing to finish successfully while failing in reality.

Cheers.
