Did you try to preserve the full history in the git version?  I'm not
familiar with git clone, but when I've made a git copy of an svn repo
for uses at work (both of freebsd.org any $WORK's repo) it took two to
three days just to fetch the portion of the revisions that were for
head/current.

A few hours sounds too short.  The three-four days since Aug 28 sounds
normal to me.
