Somebody actually fixed it a while back:
commit 0e5e69a355b7bdd1af6ca33ac7ee35299bda368e

Documentation: git-svn: fix trunk/fetch svn-remote key typo
As far as performance goes, SVN's flexibility of tagging and having
multiple subprojects interacts quite badly with git svn's --stdlayout
behavior.
With --stdoulayout, git svn supports tags/branches that are directly
descended from the top-level of trunk:
svn cp $root/trunk $root/tags/0.1.0
However, it looks like mono does things like this:
svn cp $root/trunk/mono $root/tags/mono-0.1.0
And when git svn sees that $root/tags/mono-0.1.0's parent is
$root/trunk/mono and not $root/trunk (which it's actually following),
it will try to fetch the complete history of $root/trunk/mono
($root/trunk may not contain all the history $root/trunk/mono contained,
either).
