In git-svn, there \ndidn't seem to be a suitable command available. What I found were the \ninstructions here \nhttp://translate.org.za/blogs/wynand/en/content/changing-your-svn-repository-address-git-svn-setup and some other google hits related to this one. The instructions from the wynand blog uses git-filter-branch, and the instructions were complete enough so that an all-in-one shell script wasn't too difficult to write.
