git-svn or git problem...

Hi,

I have used git-svn for checking out the trunk of a large Subversion archive. The .git subdirectory now sits in the /rep/texlive/trunk directory.

But I actually would now want to have the branches (which are pretty small in comparison) available in git as well, without checking the whole trunk out again.

Is there a way to move the .git tracking one directory level upwards and get the branches into it as well, without checking out the trunk again (the trunk is several Gigabytes of size)?
