git-svn hangs on clone

When attempting to clone n SVN repository, git-svn appears to search through the SVN history (I see r[NNNNN] = [UUID] (refs/remotes/git-svn) and a lot of [A|M|D] <FilePath>/<FileName> output) and then it hangs and never finishes. Any idea what would cause this?

Have you waited long enough? I've had SVN clones take as long as 12 hours or more. I don't remember exactly, but I left it overnight and it was done in the morning. Network latency plays a huge part, as there are tons of (relatively) tiny files to be sent by SVN. Even with an extremely fast network, though, it can take hours for a decent-sized repo.
