Hi all,

I'm trying to figure out how to import a rather large SVN tree that has been
around for a while, initially converted from CVS.

The layout is a bit odd.  Instead of standard branch/tags/trunk, it has those
directories multiply nested, e.g.:

A/
A/branches
A/branches/B
A/branches/B/branches
A/branches/B/tags
A/branches/B/trunk
A/tags/tag-1/branches
A/tags/tag-1/tags/B/branches
A/tags/tag-1/tags/B/tags
A/tags/tag-1/tags/B/trunk
A/tags/tag-1/trunk
A/trunk

etc.

Given multiple projects that are nested as such, is there a way to get git-svn
to import the tree and be able to derive the tags and branches?  Also, this
tree is a little over 1TiB in size, though a large chunk of that is due to
the duplicates made by SVN's branches/tags.

Thanks,
