I'm not sure that it was 'endless', just unnecesarily repeating itself.
commit 6173c197c9a23fa8594f18fd2c856407d4af31c1 (included in 1.4.4.2)
should have fixed your problem...

The latest git-svn in git.git now bundles all the changed files into a
delta on the server side; and is significantly faster over most network
connections as a result.

Hmm, it looks like you ran something like:
git-svn fetch -r0:2991
and then something along the lines of:
git-svn fetch -r3822:HEAD
Is that what happened?
Looking at the pre-delta git-svn code, it seems that using -r with fetch
at any time other than the initial fetch will result in botched
history...
