I was reading git-svn documentation and just found about multi-init. Seems like you're describing, execept that no branch get init'ed as the "default" branch, and you always need to specify the the branch name before doing a fetch/dcomic/etc. I hope this works for me -- I'll need to switch between two or three remote branches quite frequently.

Sounds a lot like what I do today with svk. If git works for me just as good as svk, the speed increase alone will make the switch worth.
