Not sure if this is the best way, but I would recommend cloning into two
repositories, then combining them. So you already have the newer
changes with the standard layout. You would now:
$ git svn init <repo>
And only fetch the revisions before the layout change. You could then
combine the two repositories using .git/info/grafts and
git-rewrite-branch.
