Sorry, I can't help here other than recommending a real UNIX with
fork + pipe + exec and all that fun stuff.

git-svn relies heavily[1] on both input and output pipes of the
safer-but-made-for-UNIX fork + pipe + exec(@list) variety, so I suspect
this is just the tip of the iceberg for Windows incompatibilies with
git-svn...

Maybe somebody can finally libify git? :)


[1] - probably more so than anything else in git
