There's a tool called svn-all-fast-export [1] that in my experience is much faster and is much more flexible. It has some issues: * the documentation is scarce, but after some googling it's possible to get the hang of it * it's a one-off conversion (!) * AFAIR it requires access to the actual SVN repository, not just a checkout Perhaps it would be feasible for you to get a tarball of the SVN repo, write a config file for svn-all-fast-export that will make all the required branches and tags be created and then pick up with git-svn from that (I'm also not 100% sure that "picking up" will be possible). Anyway, just wanted to point out a tool that's been used by for instance Gnome to move from SVN to git and that I had some positive experience with personally.
