Even with init - your going to need to do a fetch so that you have a copy of the svn in your tree - if the git tree you've already got has the svn references (take a look at git-log if it seems to have an svn line in the log then at some point someone pulled in the svn tree into git) if not your going to effectively be pulling the entire svn tree into your git tree.

The only other real way to get your changes / patches into svn is to dump them out as patches and them individually apply / commit them to your svn tree.
