I think we can safely say that "git clone svn://example.com/myrepo"
only has to work for svn repositories that have a 'sane' layout. If
you want a non-standard layout you can do 'git init && git configure
.... && git fetch', where you configure everything the way you want
before fetching. We could perhaps even provide a tool to aid with
configuring things; or perhaps a mode to not do any rewriting (just
import the data into git as-is) and then have a tool that examines the
history and interactively helps you set up an appropriate rewrite
config? Interesting times are ahead :).
