Please try

git svn clone -s http://svn.buddypress.org/ buddypress

By saying "-s", you make git-svn look in trunk, branches and tags subdirs of the URL that you specify, i.e. trunk/trunk etc. with your command line.

Or, omit "-s" if you want the trunk branch only.

Contents of .git/config would be more helpful in general. We don't need it in this case, but looking at it might have given you the clue (trunk/trunk).
