These are the two that git-svnimport handles. I don't think it knows about any other subversion properties.

There is a slight problem with directly converting between svn:ignore and .gitignore, though: the semantics are only almost the same. Specifically, git's ignore patters are recursive (applies to subdirectories) while subversion's are not. But it's not a big problem.
