As long as the breakage only involves branches/tags that are completely useless, it's probably a lot easier to just delete them afterwards. And if you accidently added changes to a tag, after it was created, it's also easier to manually tag to right version in git, and just forgetting about the additional commit. And for a bunch of other cases, rebase -i/filter-branch are probably also better options ;-) Skipping revisions in a git-svn import sounds rather annoying and error-prone.
