For example, I want to convert one subversion repository which

trunk/projectA
trunk/projectB
into two git repositories:
projectA.git
projectB.git
I have a slightly different layout to you -
projectA/trunk
projectA/branches
projectA/tags
projectB/trunk
projectB/branches
projectB/tags
etc
- but I've been creating separate git repos from that with (for
example) :
git-svn init -t tags -b branches -T trunk http://svn.host.com/projectA
git-svn fetch
Or will git-svn not work with your sort of layout?
It does work. Use:
git-svn init -t projectA/tags -b projectA/branches \
-T trunk/projectA http://svn.host.com/
git fetch
With my paths this translates into
$ git-svn init -b eivindlm/branches \
-t eivindlm/tags \
-T eivindlm/trunk/src/probesimulator \
file:///svn-repo/
, which prints the happy message:
Initialized empty Git repository in .git/
The next command is unfortunately not as happy:
$ git fetch
fatal: 'origin': unable to chdir or not a git archive
fatal: The remote end hung up unexpectedly
Cannot get the repository state from origin
I suppose this is due to my silly svn-repo layout... However, after some
trial and error it seems like the following command gives me what I want
(I don't need tags or other branches than main):
$ git-svn clone file:///svn-repo/ --follow-parent \
-T eivindlm/trunk/src/probesimulator
It seems to realize that the probesimulator directory has moved around in
my tree, and gives me history for files that belongs in this directory
only (and not history for other directories). So the problem appears to be
solved for my part, unless you see a reason for why I should not do it in
this way.

Thanks a lot for the help to everyone who replied!
