yes, that does the trick. I use:

$ cd ~/tmp/git-test $ tar xvfj fooRepos.tar.bz2 $ mv fooRepos foorRepos.svnrepos $ svn mkdir file:///home/georg/tmp/git-test/fooRepos.svnrepos/dummytags $ svn mkdir file:///home/georg/tmp/git-test/foorRepos.svnrepos/dummybranches $ mkdir fooRepos.git; cd fooRepos.git $ git-svnimport -b dummybranches -t dummytags -T projectA file:///home/georg/tmp/git-test/fooRepos.svnrepos

Unfortunately there was a bunch of directories instead of a single projectA-directory. Do I have to repeat the above mentioned sequence for every directory (projectA, projectB, ...) or is there a simple way of git-svnimport'ing into an existing git-repository?

Nevertheless, if that is not possible, I could extract with your way the desired directories separately and keep the histories intact.
