title: git-svn stops with no error message when trying to clone
body: <p>I'm running the git-svn clone command against the subversion server as follows:</p>
  
  <p>git svn clone svn: --no-metadata -A users.txt --stdlayout ~/temp</p>
  
  <p>The message 'Checked through r0000' appears and the revision number increases up to r8200 and then pauses. After about 30 seconds the commands prompt re-appears and I have the makings of a git repository in the temp directory but it contains no actual source code files.</p>
  
  <p>How can I get more information on what is happening?</p>
  
  <p>I have tried the git-svn from both a windows and a linux client. On windows it is version 1.8.1, on linux it is 1.7.10.4</p>
