What git-svnimport does right now is rather simple. It pulls the log from the SVN URL, drops everything that does not have a prefix of either of the -t tags -T trunk -b branches options. The prefix is then thrown away. If it's a trunk, import the rest to the "origin" branch; otherwise remove the next path component and use that as either the branch name or the tag name.
The point is that the picture in the SVN manual is incomplete. There's not just a branches/ subdirectory alongside the trunk/ one; trunk/ directly contains the project's files, while branches/ contains subdirectories which are named for the branch, and *they* contain the files.

If you're looking ahead long-term, and what you see looks like
science fiction, it might be wrong. But if it doesn't look like
science fiction, it's definitely wrong...
