Does the following patch help?

Don't think so.  The issue is not timing-related.  I've seen a failure
every 1000 requests, which suggests to me that it's hitting the
MaxKeepAliveRequests limit configured on the server.

Actually, that's exactly what this patch should fix.  git-svn restarts a
child every 1000 revisions to avoid memory usage from going through the
roof.

Oh.  My (limited) testing of the patch confirms that.

Ok, so this means I should apply this one, right?

Subject: [PATCH] git-svn: avoid network timeouts for long-running fetches

Long-running fetches run inside children to avoid memory leaks.
When we refork, the connection in the parent can be idle for a
long time; attempting to reuse it in the next child can result
in timeouts.
