I think you'll have to
-------------8<------------
# remove stored revision db, since we're going to change all the commit ids
rm .git/svn/git-svn/.rev_db.*
# rewrite git-svn-id: lines
cg-admin-rewritehist \
--msg-filter \
'sed "s,file:///tmp/rsync-mirror,svn://the.svn.link/whatever,"'
# recreate new revision db, and fetch updates, if any
git-svn rebase
