If I initialize the git-svn repository by passing in the location of a local
mirror, as in:
git svn init -s file:///path/to/mirror
and proceed to fetch all revisions from the mirror, may I simply change the
`url = ` line of `.git/config` to make it point to the real repository, or is
the git repository that is created by git-svn dependent on the original URL that
was specified in the initialization?

Changing only the url in the config does won't work, because git-svn appends a line
to every commit message which includes the SVN URL. But If I remember correctly,
putting something like this into the config file *will* work
[svn-remote "svn"]
rewriteRoot = svn://url/to/pubic/svn/server
url = file:///path/to/mirror
After the initial import you could exchange the url with the rewriteRoot url
and remove the later entry completly.
So have a look at --rewrite-root in the git svn manpage.
