Problem importing a subversion repository with git-svnimport

Hello,

Here is a simple testcase illustrating a conversion problem between
subversion and git. git-svn handles it fine, but git-svnimport keeps
stuff in the checkout that shouldn't be there.

# git --version => git version 1.5.3.2.99.ge4b2
# svn --version | head -n 1 => svn, version 1.4.3 (r23084)

mkdir test-svn
cd test-svn
svnadmin create svn-repo
svn co file://$PWD/svn-repo svn-check-out
cd svn-check-out
mkdir trunk branches tags
svn add *
svn ci -m 'SVN dirs'
cd trunk
mkdir -p a/b/c/d
echo A > a/A
echo B > a/b/B
echo C > a/b/c/C
echo D > a/b/c/d/D
svn add a
svn ci -m 'Add some data'
svn mv a/b .
svn rm b/c
svn ci -m 'Some shuffling around'
ls -R
cd ../..
mkdir git-repo
cd git-repo
git-svnimport file://$PWD/../svn-repo
ls -R

After the subversion manipulations, the svn checkout only contains the
directories a/ b/ with their respective files A and B.

The checkout from git-svnimport contains these elements, but also the
full c/ directory in b/.

Hope the testcase is clear enough ;-)
