Well, you *could* use "-T trunk" to import the first part, ^C when it
starts complaining about 'head', duplicate the last line of .git/svn2git
(incrementing the SVN change number), and continue with "-T head".
That hackery sortof depends on Upstream not changing anything *else* while
renaming 'trunk' to 'head' ...
Of course, the second possibility is to allow patterns as prefixes, drop
the distinction of "trunk" and "branch", and store the refs as full
paths under .git/refs/heads/**. You're welcome to submit a patch; please
don't forget backwards compatibility for those poor souls who need to do
incremental imports. ;-)
