My company has a fairly large SVN repository, and I'm running into a bug with git-svn where some revisions aren't being fetched.
The repository has a standard trunk/tags/branches layout, but there are some top-level directories under trunk/ that clearly don't belong in Git, and some that do. So, I've been experimenting with two approaches: a single git-svn clone that uses 'ignore-paths' to exclude the stuff that I don't want; and a series of per-subdir clones that use "fetch = trunk/<subdir>:refs/remotes/trunk" to pull in only that subdir.
The problem is that the 'ignore-paths' approach sometimes misses commits during a fetch, and then at some later time will "realize" it and squash those changes onto some other, unrelated commit. (I've never seen this happen with the per-subdir 'fetch' approach.) Here are three commits in SVN:
$ svn log -v -r 172602 -r 172605 -r 172626 svn://dev

check the right shape-values for the gn

The first two are not to be found in git: 'git log --all --grep 17260[25]' returns nothing. However, the third commit is there, and has had the changes from the earlier two (and some others) squashed into it somehow:
$ git log --grep 172626 --numstat --summary
