what i can do after git svn clone fails?

my issue is not the same as this git-svn clone fails unexpectedly, since it can be solved by remove --no-metadata option, i have no such option in my command, my commad is simply as:

git svn clone -s svn://xxx.xxx

times amd times again, i failed to clone code from svn repo:( the error message is as follows:

r506 = 82a01de65882f5bd800aca5a6f3556ba940ea3f5 (refs/remotes/trunk)

Try specifying a limited number of revisions with the --revision parameter. You most likely do not need the whole history, especially if the project has a long history.

From the manual page:

This allows revision ranges for partial/cauterized history to be supported. $NUMBER, $NUMBER1:$NUMBER2 (numeric ranges), $NUMBER:HEAD, and BASE:$NUMBER are all supported.

So for example --revision 3000:HEAD would fetch revisions starting from r3000.
