If you haven't use those options back then, then what was the svn repo structure - no trunk, just main? Did you change the structure now?

If you git-svn fetch from that new structure then all your new branches etc. will show up as subdirectories, which is most certainly not what you want.

So, what was the structure in svn like before, and have your contributors based their branches on the mis-imported new structure already?
