Wouldn't a more careful import be a better solution to that problem?
Practically speaking, I'd rather work with an enormous svn repo like
that by using git-svn to extract subsets than with a botched import
that treats it as one huge (git-managed) project.

svn-all-fast-import, for example, has a fairly simple configuration
syntax allowing to extract whatever subrepositories are needed.
