Getting correct tree layout when importing svn repo into git

Hello,

I'm currently trying to import an svn repository, along with its tags, into git, and everything seems okay except that after the import I expect to have the following structure to my checked out repository:

    [root-dir]
        .git
        <checked-out-files>

But instead I end up with

    [root-dir]
        .git
        man-pages               <-- name of my svn project
            <checked-out-files>

I've tried out a few different command-line flag settings but so far I haven't managed to get the desired layout. I guess that I'm missing something trivial, but I haven't worked out what it is so far.

The commands I'm using to do the import are:

$ git svn init file:///home/mtk/man-pages-rep/ -t tags -T trunk -b branches $ git svn fetch

The svn tags are getting imported okay, since:

git branch -a | head
  tags/man-pages-2.00
  tags/man-pages-2.01
  ...
  tags/man-pages-3.08
  tags/man-pages-3.09
  trunk

The following commands show the layout of my svn repo, which is pretty much standard:

$ svn list file:///home/mtk/man-pages-rep branches/ tags/ trunk/ $ svn list file:///home/mtk/man-pages-rep/trunk man-pages/ $ svn list file:///home/mtk/man-pages-rep/trunk/man-pages Changes Changes.old Makefile README man-pages-3.09.Announce ... man7/ man8/ scripts/ $ svn list file:///home/mtk/man-pages-rep/tags man-pages-2.00/ man-pages-2.01/ ... man-pages-3.08/ man-pages-3.09/

What 'git svn init' command do I need to get the layout that I want for my imported git repo?

Cheers,

Michael
