This is the right place.  The Git community believes in maintaining
just one mailing list.

Interesting.  From the git-svn-id of the most recent commit, can you
tell if there's anything especially fishy about the revision where
git-svn stops?  Your Subversion repository is probably broken in some
way, but git-svn should not use that as an excuse for appearing to
finish successfully while failing in reality.

Cheers.
