When I have a large repository with git-svn that I only occasionally
want to use the working copy of it, here is what I do:
1) git svn clone the SVN repository normally
2) Create an "empty" branch with no files ("git checkout --orphan")
When I want to update SVN, I do:
git checkout trunk
git svn rebase
git checkout empty
When I want to push something to SVN I do:
git checkout trunk
git svn dcommit
git checkout empty
This makes it work sort of like a bare repository, but it still works
with git-svn. I use this when I have a bunch of SVN repositories I need
to be able to work with quickly at any time, but I don't want to waste
the disk space having all of their working copies checked out
simultaneously.
