 On the other hand you could forget completly the remote part by specifying

  [svn-remote "svn"]
        url = https://url/to/your/svn/repo
        fetch = trunk:refs/heads/trunk
        branches = branches/*:refs/heads/*
        tags = tags/*:refs/heads/tags/*

but I advice you to not do this. refs/remotes has a special meaning in git,
e.g.  you can't commit directly to it (which makes sense, because it only
tracks the state of the remote repo. On the other hand remote branches won't
get cloned per default.)

yes, that's exactly what i want to do - in case the target is to convert
an svn repo to a git one (and i need git-svn since git-svnimport is to
be removed in 1.5.4)
