We have an SVN repository that has a structure for tags (likewise for branches) like this: tags/tag1 tags/tag2 tags/tag3/ tags/subdir/tag4 tags/subdir/tag5
[snip] We did this recently and decided there is only one way to do it reliably. Copy all the tags, within subversion itself, into the structure expected by git, then use git svn following the procedures outlined in the manual. Copying tags is cheap in subversion, and you can always delete them afterwards if you want.
