switching a git-svn clone to a different URL (was: reviving a git-svn clone)

also sprach martin f krafft [off-list ref] [2009.04.21.1358 +0200]:

Now I can turn to changing the URL, since upstream wants to drop
svn.suspend2.net in favour of svn.tuxonice.net. This does not seem
to be as straight-forward as it should be. I hate SVN!

Turns out using the --rewrite-root option to 'git svn init' and
swapping the URLs later, as described on the wiki [0], is exactly
what I needed.
