Hi Zk W,
That sounds like its a configurable item to tell _gc_ to stop that
warning (change the limits, or change the 'when it looks' settings).
I don't know enough about the gc auto settings but the manual should
help for both gc and for config in spotting what to set.
It doesn't sound like the actual svn clone is failing, just that it has
a lot of 'rubbish' left behind while doing the clone.

Hi Philip
Thx for responding.
It failed during the git svn clone step.
It essentially crashed with message
"
error: The last gc run reported the following. Please correct the root
cause and remove .git/gc.log
Automatic cleanup will not be performed until file is removed.
warning: There are too many unreachable loose objects; run 'git prune'
to remove them.
gc --auto: command returned error: 255

Hi Zk W,
While I know nothing of svn, could you at least clarify when the 'gc'
fails.
I think I've seen threads where the 'gc' is performed at the end,
with
an implication that the transfer had happened but the problem was
afterwards.
You may also want to search the main Git List archive
