git svn clone a non-standard repository

Hi,

I'm trying to create a git repo of the Dojo Toolkit, which has a quite non-standard layout. There are 4 modules to the current Dojo project that I care about (and some others in the repo that I'm not interested in). The problem is, the trunk code is split out into <modulename>/trunk, while tags are in tags/<tagname>/<modulename> and branches are in branches/<branchname>/<modulename>. e.g:

moduleA/trunk <- contains trunk development of moduleA
moduleA/tags   <- empty
moduleA/branches <- empty
moduleB/trunk
moduleB/tags
moduleB/branches
moduleC/trunk
moduleC/tags
moduleC/branches
moduleD/trunk
moduleD/tags
moduleD/branches
moduleE/trunk <- I don't care about this one...
trunk/   <- contains ancient version, not actual trunk
tags/1.0.0/moduleA <- contains tagged version of moduleA
tags/1.0.0/moduleB <- contains tagged version of moduleB
tags/1.0.0/moduleC <- contains tagged version of moduleC
tags/1.0.0/moduleD <- contains tagged version of moduleD
tags/1.0.1/moduleA
tags/1.0.1/moduleB
...

So I'd like to set up a git repo that tracks this SVN repository, and allows me to see:
moduleA/
moduleB/
moduleC/
moduleD/
... in my checkout, whether I'm on trunk or a tag.

What's the best way to set this up?

I've started with "git svn clone http://path/to/svn -T moduleA/trunk -t tags -b branches", and it's been sucking down branches for a couple days now, still not done. Can I set up moduleB/moduleC/moduleD as additional remotes in this same repository, and end up with the desired result? Was thinking I would add additional svn sections to .git/config, and then git svn fetch -- will this work, or is there a better way?


Thanks,
