Can you just create the file structure you want using symlinks?  That
would be the easiest way.

Don't care about tracking *any* subversion history, or just the
history of branches other than the 1.0 branch you've listed above?  I
assume the latter, because otherwise the problem is easy (just copy
the latest revision of the files into a git repo and commit).

Other options that might work for you: create a "superproject" branch
and import the two modules using git-submodule, or else import them
using git-subtree (http://github.com/apenwarr/git-subtree).  Or import
the svn history and then use git-filter-branch to move stuff around.

Good luck.
