I am migrating several projects from SVN to Git, and I am using Git\'s \'svn clone\' feature. I am trying to run the following:
git svn clone --stdlayout --a
I have had the same trouble when a svn repository is too large. I was able to handle it with an application SmartGit.

Another way to solve this issue is too import from a revision if you don't need all the history.
git svn clone -r12345:HEAD --stdlayout --authors-file=authors.txt
And finally you can try this command (to set buffer size) :
git config http.postBuffer 524288000
