Why did you have to clone an empty repository? It should be enough to add
the correct remote config directly in your "from-svn" repository and just
push it.

Now that you already have cloned the empty repository you can just look at
the remote configuration in it:

 git config --list|grep remote

You should see something like the following:

remote.origin.url=user@example.com/path/to/repository.git
remote.origin.fetch=+refs/heads/*:refs/remotes/origin/*

Go to your from-svn repository and add the above configuration, then "git
push origin master".

Good luck!
