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)

hm, this seem to be not-working for me.

after "git svn init -s url" i edited the config:

$ cat .git/config
[core]
        repositoryformatversion = 0
        filemode = true
        bare = false
        logallrefupdates = true
[svn-remote "svn"]
        url = svn+ssh://vmiklos@svn.gnome.org/svn/ooo-build
        fetch = trunk:refs/master
        branches = branches/*:refs/*
        tags = tags/*:refs/tags/*

and wanted to fetch the revisions, but actually

$ git svn fetch

does not fetch any revisions. (yes, it does once i put back the
"remotes" prefix). is this a bug? :)

I'm not sure if it's considered a "bug", but that's just the
way it is at the moment.  I can't remember why, but I did
make git-svn force the presence of the "remotes/" prefix
in all refs it writes to...
