Thanks for your answare.
No slow connection.
I resolve the problem with:
$ git svn fetch -r HEAD
With only git svn fetch, git try to search in all svn tree I think…

Thank you very much.

Hello Mario, hmmm, I haven’t used git to do the initial commit yet. But I would have assumed that it just works…
Are you sure you waited three hours for the fetch? It is rather slow, yes, but three hours seems excessive (unless you’re on a very slow connection).

Hy, I have just create my wordpress plugin (wp-itheora) and I public it on github:
http://github.com/marionline/wp-itheora
Now I want to public it on wordpress plugin direcotory. I have ask it and they give me this url:
http://plugins.svn.wordpress.org/wp-itheora/

How can I put my plugin to svn repository with git?
I try:
$ git svn init -s http://plugins.svn.wordpress.org/wp-itheora/
Then with “git svn dcommit” I have got this error:
Unable to determine upstream SVN information from HEAD history.
Perhaps the repository is empty. at /usr/libexec/git-core/git-svn line 511.
If I run git svn fetch I wait 3 hours…then I kill it…
I don’t understand how use git-svn to put my plugin in the official directory.

Thank you very much. Sorry for my bad english.
