At least I didn't succeed with reversed layout. With option
-T <trunk>/$project import works but only for trunk branch, attempts
to specify branch as -b <branches> or -b <branches>/$project don't help,
the same is with tags.

Not really automatically, but $project may be passed as option argument
in command line (let's say -p or -P), then git-svnimport will attempt to
parse such SVN repo layout:

  <trunk>/$project
  <branches>/<names>/$project
  ...

I will verify the patch (it worked only once with our specific project -
OpenSM) and then will post.
