I think it's OK. git-svn doesn't continuously verify the integrity of
history already converted, I believe.

Just try it out, it worked fine in a little demo setup I made
(although I used rebase -i instead of filter-branch):

git svn clone .. #maybe clone a little test repository to speed up the testing
git filter-branch ... #remove unwanted files
git svn fetch #this should work

On a related note, maybe you'll enjoy my git-svn demos & ideas here:
