Same. We have a 20 year old code base we migrated from Perforce to svn about 10 years ago. Now they want to migrate to git. Unfortunately, we can't get it to work either. Same thing - after many hours of running it just fails with typical useless git messages that nobody comprehends. It's quite frustrating.

(And personally, I hate git. I've used it professionally, and while it works, it's very difficult to use compared to svn or p4. Between it's utterly incomprehensible made-up terminology and horrid syntax, and hashes for commit numbers instead of just an incrementing integer, it's quite a bit less useful than svn was for us. But it's being forced on us, unfortunately.)
