Create the svn branch (with svn) and "git svn clone". Pull in your git branch under a new name (if that is what you want). Now, you can e.g. "git merge -s theirs" your other git branch into master, git svn rebase and dcommit. Untested, but comes with best wishes ;)

Do you want to discard your existing git history completely?
