I don't use multiple upstream branches in SVN fortunately, but the git-svn documentation suggests there is a way to change the Git branch name from 'refs/remotes/git-svn' to another name such that you can create one Git branch for each remote SVN branch. Of course you need to set that environment variable before invoking git-svn.
I was reading git-svn documentation and just found about multi-init. Seems like you're describing, execept that no branch get init'ed as the "default" branch, and you always need to specify the the branch name before doing a fetch/dcomic/etc. I hope this works for me -- I'll need to switch between two or three remote branches quite frequently.
As for my daily work with git-svn, I run "git svn fetch" to fetch any changes that had occurred in SVN along the branch I follow, then if any changes did exist I merge them into my Git working branch with "git pull . refs/remotes/git-svn". When I'm ready to send stuff back up to SVN I do "git svn dcommit refs/remotes/git-svn..master", where master is the name of the Git branch I want to send.
Sounds a lot like what I do today with svk. If git works for me just as good as svk, the speed increase alone will make the switch worth.
