Manual git-svn clone

I finally decided to do something about the five independent git trees I had on my hard drive at work. The problem is they are all really branches of the same subversion repository, and moving patches back and forth between them meant I had added them all as git remotes to each other. The meta problem is that we didn’t always branch off of the same trunk directory, from back when we were drinking the “just snapshots of directories” subversion kool-aid, so git svn clone doesn’t do the right thing for our branches.
