I wonder why wouldn't the alternative of noticing the URL scheme of '[remote "svn"] url' variable is "svn://". That is...

	[remote "gitrepo"]
        	url = git://example.com/repo.git/
		fetch = refs/heads/*:refs/remotes/gitrepo/*
	[remote "svnrepo"]
        	url = svn://example.com/repo.svn/
                fetch = trunk:refs/remotes/svnrepo/trunk
	[remote "cvsrepo"]
        	url = cvs://example.com/repo.cvs/
                fetch = HEAD:refs/remotes/cvsrepo/

The sections would probably can have importer specific options besides usual url/fetch.
