We had this come up about once a week when using http as the
transport.  After switching most people over to ssh the problems
disappeared.  We never managed to find out why.

	I am using an ssh link

Aparently I can reproduce this. I have a git repository that is about a year old.
I have made a local copy of it, and tried to run git svn update on it.
After downloading tons of commits it fails in the same way.

if there a way to do a step by step git svn rebase - somethng vaguely like git bisect - some way to zero in on the commit that is screwing things up ?

Or some way to get a log from the rebase AFTER the repository has become trashed

git reflog replies
fatal error bad HEAD
  

Look through the reflog to find the commit you want, then do/
/ something like/

/    git checkout whatever-the-commit-id-was-that-you-got-from-git-reflog/

/ and then optionally/

/    git checkout -b master/

/ Good luck./
