Question

We have a large SVN repository having almost 40000 revisions when we are trying to migrate that to git we are getting the above error.

The command we used is:

git svn clone <<SVN URL>>

Can any one help us here if you have faced it earlier.

Is it something to do with OS on which we are doing this migration?
Because I saw somewhere that they are able to do migration successfully in Unix based systems but facing this issue only in Windows.

Is it something to do with os on which we are doing this migration because I saw somewhere that they are able to do migration successfully in Unix based systems but facing this issue only in windows.

That would be the first test to do: try the migration from a Linux session (even from Windows, using WSL2)

That way, you can check if this is a Windows-specific issue (like a file path length limit, or Diacritic characters in filenames)
