Add svn repo to existing git repo?

Question

I know you can track a svn repo with git by using git svn init, however that is for if you want to create a brand new repo.

My situation is that I currently already have an existing git repo and want to track the trunk of a svn repo by making it a remote branch in my current git repo.

Any suggestions?

UPDATE:

After searching last night, I have finally found the answer:

It seems that you have to actually go in and manually edit the .git/config file in order to add an svn branch to an existing git repo. So according to these instructions I would have to add an entry for each branch.

Answer 1

This is actually what git svn init does -- the other git svn commands simply merge things together, etc. You can git svn init and/or copy the layout of an SVN repo cloned with git svn clone, and you should just be able to pull into a local branch, or fetch, and so on. Have some time with the man page for git svn and you shouldn't have too much trouble piecing something together; if you do, #git on freenode is a good resource. So, this should be possible without too much trouble, but I don't know exactly how to do it all.
