Changing only the url in the config does won't work, because git-svn appends a line
to every commit message which includes the SVN URL. But If I remember correctly,
putting something like this into the config file *will* work
[svn-remote "svn"]
rewriteRoot = svn://url/to/pubic/svn/server
url = file:///path/to/mirror
After the initial import you could exchange the url with the rewriteRoot url
and remove the later entry completly.
So have a look at --rewrite-root in the git svn manpage.
