I think we can safely say that "git clone svn://example.com/myrepo" only has to work for svn repositories that have a 'sane' layout. If you want a non-standard layout you can do 'git init && git configure .... && git fetch', where you configure everything the way you want before fetching. We could perhaps even provide a tool to aid with configuring things; or perhaps a mode to not do any rewriting (just import the data into git as-is) and then have a tool that examines the history and interactively helps you set up an appropriate rewrite config? Interesting times are ahead :).
