I get essentially the same error: fatal: Not a valid object name 92e2e0c50bbbacb0a3426b2c0f8b3e043eb4830a~1

Since I actually checked out a branch, I assume that

     git diff remotes/git-svn..svn

should be empty, right?

And if that's the case `git diff svn..master` should be identical to `git diff remotes/git-svn..svn`?

If I write the diff to a file, it is about 294k in size. Also worth mentioning is that I'm also tracking binary files in the git repository as well. It's for an RPM tree, so I have the (binary) package source tarballs (in a few cases >100 MB tarball) and their corresponding (text) patches and .spec files.
