Looks like a timeout, yes. It is probably not because of the .git folder
itself but rather because of the size of the revision.

If I remember correctly the last merged revision is stored in a revision
property on r0 in the target repository. I keep a local mirror of the SVN
Book on my own server and there seems to be a few revprops here:

[[[
daniel@srv:/data/svn/svnbook$ svn proplist file:///data/svn/svnbook -v
--revprop -r0
Unversioned properties on revision 0:
  svn:date
    2002-07-07T05:08:15.628904Z
  svn:log
    I'll bet I can enter a log message for revision 0, using tweak-log.cgi.

  svn:sync-from-url
    https://svn.code.sf.net/p/svnbook/source/trunk
  svn:sync-from-uuid
    b70f5e92-ccc6-4167-9ab2-d027528d294b
  svn:sync-last-merged-rev
    6069
daniel@srv:/data/svn/svnbook$
]]]

I suppose you could just `svnadmin dump` the failing revision and then
`svnadmin load` it to the target repository and carefully `svn propset`
svn:sync-last-merged-rev to an appropriate value. Make sure you read
through and understand everything in the SVN book related to svnsync before
attempting this, test it on a testrepository and make a proper backup
before you try it for real.

Hope it works out for you!
