I am asuming that this is an issue caused by codeplex's svn from tfs implementation. Does anyone here have any insight?

I have tried to fiddle with --log-window-size but nothing seemed to work. (https://stackoverflow.com/questions/38071052/getting-error-while-migrating-code-from-svn-to-git-repository-malformed-network)

Seems like it, even using svn(1) fails (see below)

OK, so lets find out what the next commit is after r27599:

  svn log -v -r 27599:HEAD https://smtp4dev.svn.codeplex.com/svn

  # which tells me r27864

  svn diff -r 27599:27864 https://smtp4dev.svn.codeplex.com/svn
  # which tells me:
  svn: E130003: The XML response contains invalid XML

strace only shows encrypted data, so maybe there's a flag or
debug option you can enable in SVN itself to see what was in the
bad XML or maybe contact the admin to see if it can be fixed.
