Hello Eric,

I have been able to use TortoiseSVN 1.5.9, Build 15518 - 32 Bit, Subversion 1.5.6, on windows.

I have used svn 1.5.5 on OSX both are able to co the full repo but it is a bit slow.

When I use git svn clone/rebase downloading commits initially got stuck at some revision(not sure which) but then after a few days of retrying, it continued a bit more to get stuck again at revision 44746.

I tried looking at git svn's code but it looks like it is actually failing in the subversion perl module(i think).

Anyways any suggestions you might have would be appreciated.

Thanks.

Kevin
