hmm, its it not released yet then? I don't have it in git 1.4.2.3

Also, I have difficulties to follow the docs on http://www.kernel.org/pub/software/scm/git/docs/git-svn.html

Any chance you can update it with more examples?
Especially one that show how one can do one big initial
commit then merge your own changes on top of that?

Something like this
REPO="file:///tmp/SVNuboot"
REPO_PATH="/tmp/SVNuboot"
GIT_REPO="/tmp/mygituboot"
ORG_REPO="/usr/local/src/u-boot"
rm -rf "$REPO_PATH"
rm -rf "$GIT_REPO"
svnadmin create "$REPO_PATH"
svn mkdir -m "initial repo layout" "$REPO"/trunk "$REPO"/branches "$REPO"/tags
mkdir -p "$GIT_REPO"
cd "$GIT_REPO"
git-svn init "$REPO"/trunk
echo  [user] >> .git/config
echo  name="jocke" >> .git/config
echo  email="Joakim.Tjernlund@transmode.se" >> .git/config
git-svn fetch
git checkout -b svn-branch remotes/git-svn
git-fetch "$ORG_REPO" tmcu2:tmcu
git-branch initial-uboot f5e0d03970409feb3c77ab0107d5dece6b7d45c9
git pull . initial-uboot
# --squash makes one large commit.
git pull --squash . initial-uboot
cg-commit -m "merge up to f5e0d03970409feb3c77ab0107d5dece6b7d45c9"
git-svn commit -q remotes/git-svn..svn-branch
git pull . tmcu # This doesn't work, I get merge conflicts
git-svn commit -q remotes/git-svn..svn-branch

Anyhow, I am glad to report that after applying your patch all my
problems with went away, no more Too many open file desc,  memory
alloc failed or Inappropriate ioctl for device, Thanks a lot.
