using git to clone a CodePlex project that uses SVN

Question

I have a project hosted in CodePlex, I chose SVN when I created this project. Now I try to use Git to clone this project.

I tried: "git svn clone the_url"

But it just hangs forever. It did not ask me for username or password or anything, just hangs.

Any idea how to get this to work?

Have a look at this answer regarding git svn and CodePlex. There are multiple possibilities, including SSL certificates, and CodePlex just responding slowly to the massive SVN fetch that git svn clone requires.
