Looks like the repository is simply not accessible by http.

    $ svn co http://svn.gna.org/xenomai/trunk
    svn: PROPFIND request failed on '/xenomai/trunk'
    svn: PROPFIND of '/xenomai/trunk': 405 Method Not Allowed (http://svn.gna.org)

git-svnimport imports a complete svn repository including its
branches and tags (as long as the svn repo follows the official
layout).  So you would run it against the repository's root:

    git svnimport svn://svn.gna.org/xenomai/

If you want to import/track the trunk only (and maybe commit to it),
git-svn from git's contrib is probably what you want.
