I cloned a repo from a central repo which is mirrored by git-svn. Now
i want to mirror the svn in the cloned local repo by myself, however,
i don't have the git-svn metadata (which is in the central repo). What
should i do to run "git svn fetch" without refetching all the
versions?

Read these:
http://code.google.com/p/chromium/wiki/UsingGit#Initial_Setup
http://trac.parrot.org/parrot/wiki/git-svn-tutorial
This should probably be in the git-svn documentation itself.

Thanks. The last link explains very clear. I just copy and paste from it.
Adding git-svn metadata to the github clone
If you want to re-populate the SVN metadata that can quickly be done
by taking your up-to-date clone of leto's repo off of gihub and adding
this to your .git/config
[svn-remote "svn"]
url = https://svn.parrot.org/parrot
fetch = trunk:refs/remotes/trunk
Then run this command to find the "top commit"
git show origin/upstream | head -n 1
and put that commit hash into a file .git/refs/remotes/trunk
(obviously replace the has with the one from the above command)
echo c85aaa38b99cedb087e5f6fb69ce6d4a6ac57a0b > .git/refs/remotes/trunk
and finally
git svn fetch
