I'm seeing the same today checking out Debian Installer (git-svn clone).

Strange thing is that there were only infrequent errors (once every 50-200 
revisions) during the first 10000 or so revisions, but ATM (around r11000 
where a whole bunch of larger commits (tags) is being checked out) there 
is one failure with every revision!
It does not seem to affect the checkout as a whole: if I just restart it 
will continue and because of that I've just created a loop around the 
command...
[...]
Now its just going again.
I did the same a few days ago on an i386 box and did not see this issue 
then. The checkout did fail at some point (about halfway I think, which 
is ~ r20000), but I'm not sure if that was this error or something else 
(I just gave up at that point and decided to check out a specific 
revision; seen no problems with that partial checkout since then).
This checkout was probably with git-svn backported to Etch, but I'm not 
completely sure about that.

The current checkout is running on my amd64, but not sure if the arch is a 
factor. I rather wonder if this is a particular type of data or 
transaction that is causing the failure...

I'm willing to do tests if that would help.

Cheers,
FJP
