I'll chime in here... working on the same repo mr convissor is.
For some reason or another the subversion repo in question triggers a fault
in git-svn.... after hours and hours of crunching. I'll admit being way too
lazy to follow up with a proper bug report.

that said.. the bug doesn't get triggered if just checking out a
portion/small branch of the entire repo. so maybe some usage of the
available inter-repo tools is available.
