I tried bin-wrappers/ from current git HEAD.

$ git describe
v2.8.2-396-g5fe494c

bin-wrappers/git svn clone https://ironpython.svn.codeplex.com/svn ironpython-old-codeplex

always fails at this rev:

	M	Src/Tests/test_re.py
r7605 = e581bc66eda2b86bf46681191034844c4ba7d7a5 (refs/remotes/git-svn)
Connection reset by peer: Error running context: Connection reset by peer at /home/Nobak-Hin-Tak/tmp-git/git/perl/blib/lib/Git/SVN/Ra.pm line 312.

I am sure there are later revs, as the web front end says so, but git svn clone/fetch does not seem to be able to get at it.

(vger.kernel did not seem to like my posts a while ago - I hope situation has improved and this can go through...)

Which SVN version?	`git svn --version`

Can you resume with "git svn fetch" ?

I suspect it's too big a change to the next revision (r8870)
since they rearranged the repo (*sigh*):

	svn log -r 7604:HEAD -v https://ironpython.svn.codeplex.com/svn

I don't think I've seen the "Error running context:" error
message before, so it could be something (either the server or
client) running out of memory, hitting a timeout or CPU limit
of some sort...

This gave me a 7MB diff, but seems to have gone through without
error after taking a long time:

	svn diff -r7604:8870 https://ironpython.svn.codeplex.com/svn

When in doubt, reach for "svn log" and see how strange things get :)

This was fine; but feel free to Cc: me and you can always check
http://dir.gmane.org/gmane.comp.version-control.git
or other archives.
