Besides the example of a mutating trunk directory, I have repositories where there is only trunk (in "/" directory) and it never changes. Without this patch, I can't even import that kind of repositories.
With repositories with a mutating trunk directory, I used the options -s and -l to incrementally import the repository. For example: $ git svnimport -l 100 -T '' <repo> and then $ git svnimport -s 101 -T 'trunk' <repo>

The patch is for git-svnimport, not git-svn (but maybe git-svn has the same problem). Anyways, a way to map trunk/tags/branches to different directories in different versions would be great, but is a different problem than -T not supporting an empty string.
