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.
