I couldn't find anything significant in the issue tracker. The main problem currently is that git is Win32, and perl is Msys. When perl asks git to read files from /tmp (a path that doesn't exist outside Msys), it grinds to a screeching halt. The quick and dirty fix is to convince git-svn to write temporary files somewhere else (maybe by passing DIR => $ENV{GIT_DIR} to File::Temp::tempname, but I've been too embarrassed to suggest that publicly). The correct fix is to switch the msysGit perl from Msys to Vanilla, but I've been too lazy to finish that up (as the SVN modules quickly descend into dependancy hell).
