That means it's a SVN working copy; SVN working copies don't contain the 
project history, so it's impossible to import from them. 

Basically, if you can't use your master copy for "svn co <URL>", you can't 
use it for "git svn".

The SVN FAQ has information on running a SVN master without any web 
service. You should probably read that.

Alternatively, you could give up on having any local SVN-based storage, 
and have /master/svn/... be a git repository that you update from the 
upstream SVN server with "git svn".
