I could not understand this. I ended up doing svnsyncso to move the entire repository down locally, and then from there I ran:
git svn clone -s file:///pathtolocal/repo/iphone/project ./project
My thought is that the SSL connection will die out after some time and ruin the clone.
A more detailed explanation with step-by-step instructions can be found here on our blog:
Permanent SVN to Git Transition
Now we are set up with pure Git bliss.
