So I found that the problem is apparently the -s option. When I removed it, it started copying everything. This shouldn't have been a problem, though, because the SVN repository has a standard structure (trunk, branches and tags directories). Anyone have any idea why this would fail?

Actually, I spoke too soon. It never actually copied out any files before I had to kill it because it was going to take too long for our entire SVN repository. So I tried to scope it down to a particular directory tree, and saw this:

------------
$ git svn clone --username babka@us.ibm.com
http://wbsfsvn.austin.ibm.com/svn/wbsf/branches/mediterranean/core
branches/mediterranean/core
Initialized empty Git repository in c:/GIT/branches/mediterranean/core/.git/

W: Do not be alarmed at the above message git-svn is just searching
aggressively for old history.
This may take a while on large repositories
Path '' was probably deleted:

Will attempt to follow revisions r18701 .. r18770 committed before the 
deletion

babka@CUBEARS /c/GIT ------------- There is nothing but a .git directory. Revision 18770 does not yet exist - the last revision is 18769, so I'm not sure why it is complaining about that. Is there something else I need to do in order to get the git svn integration working? Is there a problem with git-svn when the SVN repository is version 1.5.5?
