Some repositories started with the trunk in "/" and then moved it to the
standard "trunk/" location.

On these repositories, the correct thing would be to call
git-svnimport -T "",
I would not call that the best solution: it makes the bad decision
from the past impact useful work in the future.  I very much like git
having a good toplevel directory structure.

There are two approaches possible: one is to version the mapping
trunk/tags/branches.  Another would be if one could tell git-svn where
to stick stuff that does not sort into trunk/tags/branches.
Incidentally, I've seen repositories that have something like a
"support" or "vendor" directory, too.
