I'm trying to port an SVN project to Git. We have gone through multiple layouts for our SVN repository. It started off with just a mainline branch in the root folder. Then we went to the standard layout (branches, trunk, tags).

The problem is that when I do a "git svn clone --stdlayout" of the repository, it's not picking up any of the revisions from when the trunk previously resided in the root directory. Is there any way to specify that the trunk had multiple paths the way you can specify multiple branch folders with -b flag? What would be the best course of action for reporting an SVN repo who's layout had changed during its history?

Thanks, Bradley
