Not a big deal. But perhaps those warnings could go to a log file of some kind and then a summary at the end could say:

  There were 500 warning messages, check git-svn-fetch-TIMESTAMP.log
  for details.

And to push a bit further, why do I care about these messages. What action might I take based on them? I almost didn't discover that the warnings were harmless because I C-c'd out a few times thinking that something was really wrong before deciding to just let it run.
