More than that, you'll want to:
git svn init <foo>
cp .git/refs/remotes/origin/master .git/refs/remotes/git-svn
git svn fetch
If git-svn doesn't find a remote named "git-svn" it will assume that it
has no information about the repository and starting doing a full
checkout. By copying the ref, git-svn will see that there are already
commits with git-svn-id lines and rebuild its "rev-db". After that, it
will incrementally update for newer revisions.
That ought to save you a few precious minutes :)
