git-svn: incomplete data after terminated "git svn clone"

[Erik Faye-Lund <kusmabite@googlemail.com>]

I'm a novice at Git, so bear with me even if the answer is obvious to
experienced users, please :)

I recently tried to clone an existing (very big) SVN repo by using
"git svn clone <repo> -s", and by mistake I pressed Ctrl-C after the
clone operation had been running for ~16 hours. When trying to
re-issue the clone, I got the error message "Incomplete data: Delta
source ended unexpectedly at /home/erifay01/libexec/git-core/git-svn
line 4249" after git-svn fetching another 8 or so revisions. Now, I
realize I shouldn't have done this, but I'd still prefer avoiding to
have to re-do it all.

I already tried re-building the svn metadata by moving away ".git/svn"
and re-issuing the clone command, but no luck. It quickly re-builds
everything up to the revision that git-svn broke at, but fails with
the same error message.

Now, I'm wondering if there's any way of going back to the state
before I pressed Ctrl-C, so I can rebuild from there. I know what
revision I terminated at, and I have the corresponding SHA.
