Add svn repo to existing git repo?
After searching last night, I have finally found the answer:

It seems that you have to actually go in and manually edit the .git/config file in order to add an svn branch to an existing git repo. So according to these instructions I would have to add an entry for each branch.
The answers for this question (https://stackoverflow.com/a/840411 and https://stackoverflow.com/a/7592152) no longer work as of Git v1.8.3.2 (https://stackoverflow.com/a/19833311). You can do this instead:
1) Define the new branch in .git/config :
[svn-remote "release-branch"] url = svn+ssh://xxxx@mono-cvs.ximian.com/source/branches/mono-2-2/mcs fetch = :refs/remotes/git-svn-release-branch2) Import the SVN branch. SVN_BRANCHED_REVISION is the the revision when the branch happened in SVN.
$ git svn fetch release-branch -r SVN_BRANCHED_REVISION3) Create branch and hook up a local Git branch to the remote branch:
$ git checkout -b release refs/remotes/git-svn-release-branch5) Update
$ git svn rebase
