Sounds like what I need.  But both of these are yielding the following error:

"E: 'http:/abc.com/foo/trunk' is not a complete URL and a separate URL is not specified"

Notice the one slash after http:.

Here's the exact script I'm running to test:

$ cat sample.sh #!/bin/sh

rm -rf .git

git svn init \
      --trunk http://abc.com/foo/trunk \
      --branches http://abc.com/foo/branches \
      --tags http://abc.com/foo/tags
