ok, I was lead astray by this part of the doc for rebuild:
A Subversion URL may be optionally specified at the
command-line if the directory/repository you're tracking has
moved or changed protocols.

Oh, sorry I didn't find that example. This worked perfectly, thanks!
One question: My fingers are in the habit of typing remotes/git-svn.
Can I do:
cd .git/svn
rm -r git-svn
mv git-newsvn git-svn
Or is there a safer way to rename? Or are there other config-file
ways to make this work -- to provide an alias?
Thank you so much for the prompt reply. Nice to get going again and
with the full history.
